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

            The Firm 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.
