We received a unanimous defense verdict on behalf of an orthopedic and physical therapy practice in a case where the plaintiff’s demand was $5 million. The jury deliberated for approximately six hours and had to decide whether the injuries sustained by the plaintiff  (detached retina, macular hole and other related eye injuries resulting in five surgeries in two years) were related to any negligence by his clients.

We successfully defended a claim for failure to diagnose infectious endocarditis after a periodontal procedure. The plaintiff, who was 56 at the time, was diagnosed with streptococcal endocarditis after undergoing periodontal surgery with our client. As a result, he required an aortic valve replacement and claimed he had to sell his business as he could no longer work.
