The following is a sample of some, but not all, verdicts and settlements obtained by Abramson & O’Connell, LLC, on behalf of our clients:
$17.8 Million Medical Malpractice Verdict
A 4-month-old child had elective surgery for removal of a benign cyst from her neck. Following an adverse reaction to anesthesia, her anesthesiologist failed to stop the procedure and thereafter failed to monitor her vital signs. Our client suffered irreversible brain damage as a result of being deprived of adequate oxygen and blood flow for a period of 30 minutes. This verdict set a record for the largest medical malpractice judgment in Franklin County history when it was rendered.
$3.2 Million Medical Malpractice Verdict
A 45-year-old husband and father of three children developed blood clots in his brain. An MRI showed the presence of the clots but they were not diagnosed by the radiologist who interpreted the MRI. The failure to diagnose resulted in a massive and fatal hemorrhage in his brain.
$1.9 Million Medical Malpractice Verdict
A working mother consulted with an ear, nose and throat specialist for treatment of an ear disorder. The surgeon performed an unnecessary surgery and penetrated through the base of our client’s skull, causing a leak of cerebrospinal fluid. Our client was forced to undergo a craniotomy to repair the leak. As a result of the trauma from the brain surgery, she suffered a permanent loss of taste and smell and nerve damage on one side of her face.
