July 24, 2013Weston Products Liability Laywer On DePuy Hip Replacement Failures
July 24, 2013The family of Kiarra Smith was awarded $19.2 million by a Florida jury after she was allegedly overdosed on nutrients a few days after her birth. As a result of the incident, the little girl now suffers from cerebral palsy and is also blind. According to the lawsuit, there was a prescription mistake and the hospital gave her a dose 100 times more powerful than the prescription that the doctor had issued. The Florida medical malpractice lawsuit alleges that the mistake with the medication caused Kiarra to go into cardiac arrest and suffer other severe injuries.
The damages that this poor child suffered are simply atrocious and heart-breaking. As a Medical Malpractice Attorney in Weston, I’ve mentioned before that there is nothing more devastating than when a child suffers serious injuries. Throughout my career as a Weston Injury Lawyer, I have represented many victims, but I can promise you that it never gets any easier to deal with catastrophic injuries.
If all of the facts are correct, then the negligence that the Lee Memorial Health System exhibited is a significant cause of action for this medical malpractice lawsuit. If the allegations are true, then the hospital seriously breached its duty of care, causing the damages and prompting the lawsuit. We trust our doctors and medical professionals everyday, but when they breach that trust, the damage can be catastrophic as evidenced by this case. As a Weston Medical Malpractice Attorney, I can certainly attest that the injuries suffered in these cases can be horrific, and the number one priority is seeking justice for those affected.
