New York, NY - Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, a leading injury law firm in New York City, has secured a landmark $18.5 million verdict for their client who suffered a severe brain injury due to medical malpractice. The case, tried by attorneys Joseph F. Sullivan and Steven G. Brill, highlights the firm's commitment to justice and their experience in handling complex personal injury cases.
The verdict, delivered by a Brooklyn jury on October 3, 2024, stemmed from a medical malpractice incident that occurred at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center on September 16, 2012. The client, who had been arrested and brought to the emergency room for chest pain, was discharged after only 32 minutes of triage and a total ER stay of just over an hour. The emergency room doctor failed to conduct a thorough examination or perform any bloodwork, despite the client's elevated blood pressure and heart rate.
Tragically, the client was experiencing early symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, which went unrecognized due to inadequate assessment. Ten hours after being released back into police custody, he suffered a seizure that led to a severe brain injury requiring multiple surgeries, including a craniectomy. The client now resides in a nursing home with catastrophic brain damage, limited bodily control, and compromised brain function.
The jury found that the doctor departed from the standard of care by failing to order blood work and obtain an adequate medical history. They assigned 30% responsibility to the client and awarded damages for past and future pain and suffering, as well as future medical expenses and lost earnings.
