The following cases represent some high-profile cases the firm is presently prosecuting.

Medical Malpractice – (Complaint filed in April of 2021)

Plaintiff, a 34-year-old asymptomatic female, with elevated liver enzyme levels, was advised that she needed a liver biopsy due to an allegedly abnormal ultrasound that was, in fact,  normal.  Defendants were aware that plaintiff was on various medications that could have been the cause of her elevated liver enzymes but did not tell her that she could merely stop taking the medications to see if her liver enzyme levels returned to normal. Defendants then negligently performed an unnecessary liver biopsy that has caused plaintiff a severe chronic and permanent pain syndrome.

Medical Malpractice – (Complaint filed March of 2021)

Plaintiff, a 64-year-old healthy male, injured his back while playing volleyball and went to an emergency room. The emergency room staff misread the CT Scan that was performed and failed to identify a herniated disc at the proper level. The staff then failed to conduct a timely MRI in order to evaluate his back condition. His condition deteriorated and surgery was not performed in a timely manner. As a result of the negligence of the physicians who treated and cared for him, he now is wheelchair dependent and partially paralyzed.

Medical Malpractice- Death Case (Complaint Filed January of 2021)

Plaintiff, a Cook County employee, went to a suburban emergency room on the recommendation of her primary care physician. Upon arrival, she reported a 24-hour history of severe abdominal pain and was admitted with a diagnosis of pancreatitis. After continued abdominal pain and abnormal laboratory values, plaintiff had an abdominal CT scan which showed multiple pseudo-aneurysms. During the next five-day period, no angiogram was performed until plaintiff suffered a hypotensive event five days later and died that day from multiple pseudo-aneurysms that resulted in hemorrhagic shock.

Medical Malpractice- Double Death Case (Complaint Filed July of 2020)

A young employed mother of two minor children who was 35 weeks pregnant went to a local Chicago hospital with complaints of back pain. Emergency room physicians diagnosed her with a urinary tract infection, had a culture done on her urine and gave her a general antibiotic to treat the infection. She had two follow-up emergency room visits in the following eight days where physicians did not review her test results and continued to treat her with a generic antibiotic that was not the proper antibiotic to treat the type of bacterial infection that she had. Ten days after her initial emergency room visit, she suffered cardiac arrest due to kidney failure and she and her unborn child, died.  The  urinary tract infection was determined to be her cause of death.

Medical Malpractice – (Complaint filed May of 2020)
