$900,000 – Amputation

Brady Williams handled this case and secured a significant settlement on behalf of a man who suffered the amputation of his leg after providers failed to timely recognize and treat compartment syndrome that developed following heart surgery. The post-operative period following cardiac surgery demands vigilant monitoring of the entire patient, and the failure to identify the developing signs of compartment syndrome in his extremity allowed a treatable condition to progress to one requiring amputation. The combination of the underlying cardiac procedure and the subsequent limb loss made this an exceptionally complex case requiring expert support across multiple specialties.
