Seattle Malpractice Settlements by Johnson Flora, PLLC
$3,900,000 legal settlement against a lawyer that dismissed our client’s medical malpractice claim without her consent.
The client suffered a fractured spinal bone as a result of surgery and it went undiagnosed despite the severe pain the client was suffering. This caused serious permanent damage requiring follow-up surgeries and ongoing treatment. This client hired an attorney to represent them in the medical malpractice case against the Seattle healthcare providers and the attorney dismissed the claim just over one year after filing it without the consent of his client. During the time he represented the plaintiffs, the malpractice lawyer lacked the knowledge, skill and experience to competently represent them on their claim. He failed to conduct adequate discovery, failed to develop evidence and expert testimony, failed to resist a motion for summary judgment, failed to refer the case or associate experienced counsel and failed to accurately inform plaintiffs of his degree of experience in medical negligence cases so as to deny plaintiffs an informed decision as to their choice of counsel. This case settled for our client during the appeals process for $3,900,000.
