$1 Million Settlement-New York Medical Malpractice-Permanent Nerve Injury

By Gerry Oginski

ADVERTISEMENTS

A nerve injury went unrecognized while a young man was in the emergency room in a busy hospital here in New York. The patient complained to nurses and the doctor in training that he had pain in his hand as well as tingling and numbness in his arm. Despite these complaints and observations by the emergency room nurse, the patient's condition was not treated until permanent nerve damage had occurred.

By the time this patient was taken into surgery, the damage to his nerve was permanent. He suffered extensive damage to his arm and hand. To make matters worse, his incisions became infected and he needed to additional surgeries to clean out the wound.

This case settled during the discovery phase of the lawsuit just as we were planning to take depositions of the next six doctors who were involved in this patient's care and treatment.

Because of the confidential nature of the settlement, I am unfortunately not permitted to identify the parties or the hospital involved.
