Representation of plaintiffs and defendants in claims against professionals, including attorneys, engineers, accountants, insurance brokers and healthcare providers.

          The following are examples of our representation in this practice area:

            Sprague & Sprague successfully tried a medical malpractice case involving the wrongful death of a 76 year old man who underwent colo-rectal surgery and subsequently developed a total breakdown of his anastomosis (the surgical connection of his small bowel), resulting in septic shock, a severe stroke and ultimately his death. A state court jury returned a verdict in favor of the Firm's client in the amount of $6.5 million, one of the largest medical malpractice verdicts in the state for the wrongful death of a person more than 75 years old.

            The Firm successfully tried a neurosurgical, medical malpractice case involving the wrongful death of a young mother of two children. A seven figure recovery was secured for the children following a trial and appeals by opposing parties through Pennsylvania’s state courts.

            The Firm successfully tried a medical malpractice case involving the wrongful death of a young family man who underwent gastroenterological surgery. A multi-million dollar settlement was obtained on behalf of the decedent’s family just before closing arguments to the jury following a two-week trial.

            We successfully tried a medical malpractice case against a health clinic which failed to properly treat our diabetic client’s foot condition. A substantial monetary settlement was recovered for our client following trial.

            The Firm obtained a significant monetary settlement in a medical malpractice case arising from the performance of an invasive cardiac procedure.

            We obtained an eight figure settlement in a legal malpractice action against two prominent law firms for damages sustained by our client due to the firms’ delayed processing of patent filings.

            When our clients’ multi-million dollar home was gutted by fire and their insurance proved inadequate, Sprague & Sprague brought suit against and obtained a favorable settlement from their insurance broker who had misrepresented the extent of the coverage.

            Sprague & Sprague has also successfully handled medical malpractice cases involving obstetrical injuries.
