PHILADELPHIA FIRM HITS MED MAL GRAND SLAM
Pomerantz Perlberger & Lewis obtained a $1.7 Million verdict before a Philadelphia jury against Temple University Hospital in a medical malpractice trial on behalf of siblings of an elderly man who was hospitalized for angioedema (allergic reaction manifested by tongue swelling) and suffocated to death when his endotracheal tube developed an undetected mucous plug. The result was notable because there were essentially no recoverable out-of-pocket expenses and the Philadelphia jury came back with its award based on conscious pain and suffering during a six-hour period.
This result culminated three recent settlements on the eve of trial against doctors and hospitals:
$2.5 Million Negligent cardiac bypass surgery [New York City]
$1.55 Million Missed necrotizing fascitis diagnosis [Philadelphia]
$650,000 Delayed melanoma diagnosis [New Jersey]
All four of these cases were referred to our firm by other attorneys who realized that they could best serve their clients by having the lawyers at Pomerantz Perlberger & Lewis represent them in Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York courts.
