$10 Million Verdict, Josh Terry V. Dr. Ernest Lindell, Toledo, Ohio

Josh was only a teenager when he was paralyzed by a surgeon who negligently plunged an instrument he was using into Josh’s spinal cord, causing permanent damage. Despite the obvious negligence, Dr. Lindell’s insurance company, ProAssurance, denied his claim and fought the case for many years by delaying the case and hiring lawyers to take the case to trial. Thankfully a Jury found in favor of Josh, and his mom and dad, providing the family the largest verdict in Lucas County history. Josh has used this compensation for education, equipment and housing better equipped for his paralysis and future medical care, including research and care into curing his paralysis.

$8.5 Million Settlement with Ohio Hospital

A 10-year-old girl was diagnosed with a stomach virus when she really had an appendicitis. She was hospitalized for 4 days where no radiology studies or lab work was done to identify the problem. Her parents kept complaining of her declining health until she arrested from her infection spreading throughout her body. This arrest left her brain damaged and unable to speak, feed herself or take care of herself in any way. The settlement enabled her family to take her home, equip a special house for her needs and provide her with nursing care and future medical care. The family has also invested in unique medical therapy including hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy and potentially stem cell therapy.

$7.7 Million Verdict, Dr. Xiao Di And Nan Qiao V. Cleveland Clinic Foundation And Dr. Andrew Esposito, Cleveland, Ohio

This case involved negligent actions during a medical procedure that left Dr. Di, a neurosurgeon formerly employed by the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, no longer able to operate. Back on Feb. 12, 2010, Dr. Di was performing surgery when he injured his left eye. Subsequent to that work-related injury, he underwent surgery to have his eye repaired. During that procedure, a hole was torn in Dr. Di’s iris and his left pupil was destroyed due to the negligent actions of Dr. Esposito and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation medical team. After a 2 ½ week trial, the jury awarded $7.7 million for the doctor’s pain and suffering, loss of consortium and to replace prior and future lost wages. Learn more about this verdict.

$5.5 Million Truck Accident Settlement in Cleveland

An energetic and sweet married woman was on her way to a fitness center during her lunch hour from work when she was broadsided by an 18-wheel truck which had run a red light. While she broke many bones in her body the impact caused a traumatic and force fueled injury to her brain. This injury was particularly disturbing as she was able to talk and, at times, seemed normal. However, the brain injury made it so she was unable to remember conversations or be able to independently function to take care of herself or others. The settlement allowed her to obtain brain injury therapy that was cutting edge at the time and resulted in some improvement. Unfortunately, she is still unable to take care of herself, however a Trust set up to care for her has provided equipment and housing modifications.

$4.65 Million Settlement with Cincinnati Hospital

This case involved nurses attempting to blame an OB for not attending to warning signs during a delivery. The OB indicated he was in the on call sleeping room the entire night and was never called in a timely manner. Lost in this senseless fight was the family of a little girl who was born brain damages for the failure of the nurses and the OB to act and deliver the child appropriately. After researching the records, it was apparent the nurses had falsified the records to reflect calls to the OB they never made. Despite all this both Defendants pushed this case to the eve of trial before resolving the matter. The family has utilized the award to provide education, equipment, housing and nursing care to provide for their daughter who is now nearing her teenage years.

What People Say About Us

Erin Maley

"I heard about Marc Pera when my family was in a horrific car accident. I lost my husband in the accident. The medical bills were overwhelming and I was not in a state to deal with any of the chaos. There were several attorneys that reached out to me, but I wanted to hire the best and someone I could trust. A close friend gave Marc’s name to me as a recommendation. During my first conversation with Marc, he offered to come to me at the hospital for my convenience. He did a great job of explaining to me exactly what was happening. He took all of the medical bills and pressure off of my plate. It was obvious that he cared about a lot more than the money. Marc truly cared about my daughter & myself. He did a great job looking at the mere circumstances other than just the legal standpoint. I would definitely recommend Marc to anyone in a situation similar to ours."

"It was as a result of a very unfortunate outcome from what should have been a fairly straightforward medical procedure for my wife that our family was introduced to Steve Crandall. I can honestly attest to Steve’s character and integrity, even more evident as we progressed through the course of my wife’s case. I was especially appreciative of his guidance, thoroughness, and patience with regard to all of the legal matters, professionally and as a gentleman, since this was an avenue that my family and I had never travelled previously and was sometimes uncomfortable for us . Yet, his sound counsel provided a lot of the assurance we needed, morally as well as a peace of mind due to our medical financial situation. I could only hope that if our paths would cross again at some point that it would be under more pleasant circumstances. However, I would not even hesitate to contact Steve Crandall if I were to ever require his expertise in a similar situation again, nor waver from recommending his commendable services to another."

"I contacted Steve Crandall after my husband sustained a permanent injury as a result of negligence on the part of his physicians. After meeting with him, it was clear that he thoroughly understood the issues with our case. Due to fact that I waited to contact an attorney, we did not have much time before we exceeded the statute of limitations. Steve, and his staff, wasted no time in obtaining my husband’s medical records and proceeding with the case. Throughout the entire process, I was so impressed with how prompt Steve was in returning phone calls and emails, and his willingness to take as much time as needed to answer any questions that I had. The interaction that I had with his paralegals regarding obtaining my husband’s medical, financial, and educational records was equally impressive. I could not be more pleased with how Steve handled the case, and the end result of it."
