$3,500,000.00 Duffy & Duffy has achieved a $3.5 million settlement for a 37-year-old client who suffered brain damage due to negligent medical treatment.
The client, who presented with chest pain, was improperly treated for atrial fibrillation by the attending hospital staff. This negligence led to a coma, subsequent brain damage with cognitive decline, and impaired speech, rendering him unable to work.
Duffy & Duffy’s advocacy has ensured the client and his family are financially supported as they seek to rebuild their lives post-tragedy.
