Personal Injury Law

A New York jury recently awarded a woman $3.5 million to compensate her for damages caused by medical malpractice. A botched plastic surgery procedure left her deformed.

In 2003, the woman had breast augmentation and a breast lift performed. However, surgical errors resulted in her developing a condition called double bubble. As a result of the embarrassing condition, it looks like she has four breasts (two stacked on top of each other on each side of her body).

The breast implant malpractice has sent the woman into a tail-spin. She experienced diminished self-esteem, became very depressed, and even started sleeping in a different bedroom than her husband. Eventually, her husband grew tired of getting pushed away and filed for a divorce.

The $3.5 million medical malpractice settlement is intended largely to compensate her for pain and suffering.

If you have been the victim of a botched plastic surgery procedure, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. An experienced medical malpractice attorney can help ensure you receive a fair settlement.
