In this case, our client went to a hospital complaining of chest pains. Although the electrocardiogram indicated that the client was having an acute heart attack, the client was sent home with a diagnosis of indigestion. Unfortunately, the client was rushed to the hospital later the same day and died. As a result of filing a lawsuit on behalf of the family of the deceased, we were able to obtain a settlement against the hospital of almost $1 million dollars.

In this case, a teenage boy was severely injured when hurricane shutters, which had been provided by the manufacturer of his new home, were caused to fall on top of him, resulting in severe injuries to his leg and foot. Our firm filed a lawsuit on the child’s behalf against the home builder and hurricane shutter supplier, and just before the case was to go to trial, we were able to obtain a settlement from the defendants in excess of $500,000.
