Partner Rob Sachs Secures Settlement for Victim of Surgical Injury
Shrager & Sachs is pleased to announce that Managing Partner Rob Sachs, Jr. has recently settled a central Pennsylvania medical malpractice case. The case was settled for just under $1 million.
The case involved a surgical injury to our client’s “spinal accessory” nerve during a lymph node biopsy procedure. In addition to suffering from a loss of function of the muscles typically controlled by the spinal accessory nerve, our client also developed a highly disabling “complex regional pain syndrome.”
Coincidentally, our client was a former emergency room nurse at the very hospital where the malpractice occurred. As a result of her injury, she will never work again as an emergency room nurse – and it is questionable whether she will ever work at all.
Our firm is proud to have secured a just settlement that will provide our client with compensation for losses and for any future difficulties caused by the injury.
