Person A went in for a simple procedure to drain a liver cyst at a local hospital. During the surgery, the surgeon allegedly clipped her bile ducts shut, causing severe complications. The bile duct damage left Person A requiring a liver transplant at a young age and facing lifelong medical treatment and monitoring.
How We Secured This Medical Malpractice Settlement
Matthew Broderick handled this complex medical malpractice case by retaining fantastic medical experts and successfully deposing the surgeon to expose the critical errors he made. Through aggressive negotiation, he secured a $1.37 million settlement without going to trial. This recovery reflects Person A’s permanent health impact and the over $3 million in medical expenses she has already incurred.
“She went in for what would have been a very simple procedure to just drain a cyst, and she ended up needing a liver transplant at a very young age. So when we got the case, we had to work it up significantly because there were a lot of complex medical issues. And ultimately, because we were able to get fantastic experts, and because we were able to successfully depose the general surgeon and expose some of the errors that he had made, we were able to negotiate a fantastic result short of trial.”
