Court/dates: Newport News Circuit Court 2003 Staff: James C. Lewis, Attorney; Denell Falzon, paralegal; Karen Lorda, litigation assistant What happened: MH was a 61-year-old with back pain radiating down her left leg. She went to defendant neurosurgeon who advised her that she needed low back disc surgery. When he performed the surgery, he failed to properly control the surgical instruments and allowed one of them to cut three vessels in the plaintiff's abdomen, causing extensive internal bleeding. A repair of the damaged vessels by a vascular surgeon was attempted but was not successful. MH ultimately lost both her legs. Key legal strategy: Five highly qualified experts were quickly retained to support the plaintiff's case. In addition, it was anticipated that the doctor's attorneys would try to blame the vascular surgeon for the poor outcome. For this reason, the attorneys representing MH retained a vascular surgeon known to be a favorite witness of defense counsel to help support the plaintiff's case. Accordingly, when he was contacted by the doctor's attorneys, he could not assist them in the defense of the case. The results:
Awarded: The case was settled before the trial for 1.25 million dollars.
