Medical Malpractice in South Jersey Hospital

$3.5 Million Settlement

Thirty-eight-year-old Tom was admitted to a South Jersey hospital with severe abdominal pain.

The staff examined and diagnosed him with a hernia and got him scheduled for surgery the next day. Doctors performed the surgery without any complications.

Per the hospital’s normal routine, Tom was then transferred to the medical-surgical floor at the hospital.

At 5:30 am the next morning, a nurse found him unresponsive.

She attempted to rouse him, but eventually, a code blue was called, and then staff gave Tom medications that brought him back to life.

However, it came with severe complications.

Tom came to us to seek compensation for their neglect of his care.

Our research uncovered evidence of gross negligence by the hospital.

Despite having policies and procedures that require constant oxygen monitoring for a patient in Tom’s condition, the nurses failed to do so.

Records also revealed the nurse attempted to rouse Tom for almost thirty minutes, not ten as she testified before the code was called and medication was given.

The extraordinary and devastating length of time left him with a severe brain injury.

We had a nurse expert testify that the nurses violated the standard of care and their own policies with regard to monitoring Tom.

A neurologist and a life care planner substantiated the incredible damage done to Tom.

Tom received a $3.5 million settlement for his avoidable brain injury and his lifelong medical needs for his new condition.

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.
