$3,250,000 Negligent Orthopedic Surgery

Tommy Hastings handled this medical malpractice case in which the Plaintiff underwent a sacral fusion surgery for hip and back pain. During the surgery, the physician negligently placed a pin too far and damaged the sacral nerves. Even worse, the physician left the pin in place for several days which caused irreversible nerve damage and a condition known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). The firm turned down many seven figure offers to settle the case. On the morning of trial, the case settled far above the “best offer” as the jury was being selected.
