AREAS OF PRACTICE
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Recent studies have shown that as many as 100,000 people are killed
or injured each year by improper medical care/unethical medical conduct. All three
partners in the firm have a proven track record of settlements and jury verdicts
in the area of medical negligence.
Whether your case involves a brain-injured child, the death of a loved one
or a catastrophic injury, the Law Offices of Miller, Curtis & Weisbrod has the experience
and means to aggressively pursue your case to ensure justice is received.
Some of our recent recoveries include:
 (a) B____: R____ B____ was born a normal, healthy child. However, he was a fussy eater and was not getting enough breast milk during his first day in the hospital. Despite his profoundly low blood sugar, the hospital discharged him and his mother home. Twenty-four hours later, he was returned to the emergency room, limp and listless. His blood sugar was so profoundly low by that point, that he suffered significant brain injury. The lawsuit against the treating obstetrician, pediatrician and hospital that discharged R____ was settled for $9,000,000.00** by Bill and his former law firm.
** A contigent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $3,600,000.00 and $350,000.00 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
(b) G____: S____ G____ was a 46-year-old mother of two. She received a pap smear telling her she was safe from cervical cancer. A year later, she was diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer. Clay, while with a previous law firm, learned the Dallas pathology lab that had read the pap smear, not only had misread this pap smear, but had been routinely violating federal law by reading an excessive number of pap smear slides a day - increasing the odds of negligence. Shortly before trial, the lab settled for $4,800,000.00**, one of the largest cancer settlements in the county at the time. After the settlement, a local Dallas television station ran a two-night story on the case, raising awareness of the issue.
** A contigent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $1,920,000.00 and $61,000.00 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
(c) C____: E____ C____ was born with a fairly common defect in her heart - a transposition of the great vessels. As a result, E____ was unable to get fresh blood from her lungs to the rest of her body. The transposition was misread in a prenatal sonogram, and was also missed in an echocardiogram performed shortly after her birth. By the end of her first day of life, E____ C____ died. The suit against the obstetrician for misreading the sonogram and against the pediatric cardiologist for misreading the echocardiogram was settled for $1,000,000.00**. ** A contigent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $400,000.00 and $49,000.00 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.

(d) A____: a 64-year-old retiree, underwent eye surgery to implant an artificial lens as a result of cataracts. The surgeon unsafely placed the lens on two different occasions, leading to multiple surgeries and eventually the loss of her eye. When the doctor and insurance company refused to settle, we tried the case to a jury and received a favorable $950,000.00** verdict. ** A contigent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $380,000.00 and $40,000.00 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
- See Demonstrative Evidence
(e) Dana Wonzer was 23 years old when her kidneys failed. She needed a catheter placed for dialysis, and during that surgery the surgeon tore a hole in one of the major vessles in her chest. Films showed the bleeding, but the surgeon failed to correct the problem. After more than 6 hours, Dana bled to death. The jury found the surgeon negligent, and awarded $1,100,000.00** in favor of Dana's surviving family.
** A contigent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $440,000.00 and $77,000.00 in litigation expenses which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
