$2.9 Million Settlement
Lacy had suffered from a stomach ache for two-and-a-half days.
She went to an inner city Philadelphia hospital ER and told the doctors and nurses her pain was in the lower right area of her abdomen.
This is the top sign of appendicitis.
Despite this, the staff did not perform a CT scan, the standard of care when appendicitis is suspected.
They gave Lacy some painkillers and sent her home.
The next morning, her appendix burst.
A different hospital confirmed the burst and placed Lacy in the ICU to treat the sepsis that had formed as a result.
After her stay in the ICU, she went to a rehab center, where she spent eight weeks recovering.
Lacy came to us to stand against the first hospital staff’s failure to diagnose.
Our medical graphics team created medical diagrams and video modeling to recreate the events of Lacy’s case and the staff’s negligence.
This evidence enabled us to secure a $2,900,000 settlement for Lacy after jury selection.
If you or someone you know has suffered needless injury because of a medical professional’s negligence in care, it’s time to take a stand.
