Settlement Surgical Error

Partial Paralysis Due to a Stroke

Our client was a wonderful 54 year old, married and employed man with two teenage children who went a cardiac surgery. Unfortunately, during the surgery material left behind in the surgical filed that led to clot formation in his brain. This clot caused a hemorrhagic stroke and permanent brain injury. Our client was unable to ever work again and unable to care for himself. Crandall & Pera Law put together an impressive array of expert witnesses, including a life care planner, a vocational expert and an economist to fully illustrate damages. This case was eventually settled and the funds received will help take care of our client and his family for the remainder of his life.

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.
