      After Nora’s husband died from bad medical advice, she successfully sued the hospital for her depression

      After Nora’s husband died from bad medical advice, she successfully sued the hospital for her depression

      Nora

      Nora’s husband, Jason, tragically died after a routine colonoscopy. She experienced severe depression after his loss and could not work or care for herself. We helped Nora make a negligence claim against the hospital to cover her treatment and living expenses.

      To build Nora’s case, our team investigated Jason’s medical history and his treating doctors’ actions. We discovered that, years earlier, Jason had suffered a first heart attack and now needed daily DAPT therapy to reduce the risk of another. Further investigation revealed that Jason’s surgeon told him to stop his DAPT therapy before the colonoscopy.

      As a result, Jason regurgitated and inhaled stomach contents into his lungs during the procedure. Though the procedure was terminated, Jason suffered a heart attack and died shortly after.

      We used our network of medical experts to prove that the surgeon and hospital were negligent. Their reports showed that DAPT should not have been stopped for a routine colonoscopy. Additionally, they agreed that DAPT therapy could have prevented Jason’s death.

      Our medical experts also examined Nora and provided extensive reports on her depression and its impact on her life. This was conclusive proof that Nora’s condition directly resulted from Jason’s death. The hospital’s insurer could not deny liability and we eventually negotiated a $550,000 settlement for Nora. This included compensation for her past and future lost wages, medical expenses, and ongoing care costs. It was a privilege to help Nora secure this much-needed financial relief.
