Representative Matters
Defense Verdict in Favor of an Orthopedic Surgeon in South Florida
Plaintiff alleged that our client, an orthopedic surgeon and upper extremity specialist, negligently performed surgery when he repaired Plaintiff’s severely comminuted distal radius fracture with a volar plate and screws. The Plaintiff alleged that our client improperly placed screws into the intra-articular joint space, and improperly set the wrist at the wrong angle, which necessitated a second surgery by a subsequent treating hand surgeon to remove the plate and screws and set the wrist at the proper angle. Plaintiff demanded almost $890,000, but the jury returned a defense verdict.
Allegations of Negligence in a Colonoscopy Result in a Defense Verdict
