$3 Million – Leslie Hall V. Dr. Helmut Schreiber Cleveland, Ohio
Leslie Hall V. Dr. Helmut Schreiber Cleveland, Ohio
Les Hall elected to have bariatric surgery after having failed at losing weight for many decades. He went to Dr. Schreiber who had advertised his services and program for this type of surgery as one of the best in Ohio. After surgery, Les developed a leak in his intestinal tract at the area where the surgery was performed. Many signs and symptoms developed, which were consistent with this leak; however, Dr. Schreiber did not follow up on these. Les eventually became infected throughout his body and, although he survived his ordeal, he suffered permanent and painful nerve damage, which affected his ability to walk and take care of himself. At trial, Dr. Schreiber attempted to blame other physicians for his failure to follow up. A Cuyahoga County jury returned a verdict in Les Hall’s favor. Les’ client testimonial regarding my representation of him can be found on Avvo.com and this website. He remains a close friend and has referred me cases frequently throughout the years.
Every case is different, and the verdicts and settlement figures listed by Crandall & Pera Law are not a guarantee of similar outcomes for other clients and cases.
