Our Case Results

Defendants contended that nothing the residents, physicians or hospital staff did or failed to do would have prevented the outcome. They also argued that even if Jane had been timely treated, she would be in the same condition that she finds herself today. In support of that position, the defendants collectively argued that Jane’s quadriplegia was complete as of the time that she arrived at Valley Hospital. Further, they argued that emergent surgery on June 9^th would not have prevented the outcome as Jane had already infarcted her spinal cord.

As a result of the negligent failure to monitor a baby prior to delivery, the infant sustained permanent neurological injuries.

The Law Offices of Marshall Silberberg secured a $2.8 million dollar settlement on behalf of a husband and wife in a medical malpractice case in which medical care providers failed to diagnose and treat an ischemic stroke. After experiencing symptoms of a stroke, the husband was taken emergently to a local hospital. Unfortunately, the treating physician and nurses failed to properly identify the ischemic stroke and failed to administer appropriate treatment. As a result, our client suffered severe neurologic injury.

Our client was the daughter of a 64-year-old woman who suffered a stroke and was admitted to a nursing home with inability to speak, move the right side of her body, or care for herself, such that she was completely dependent on others for all of her needs. While in the nursing home, she developed a clot in an artery of her leg that caused her foot and lower leg to become necrotic and gangrenous. Staff at the nursing home ignored her cries for help for more than two months, resulting in the amputation of her leg just below the knee, severe infection, and death.
