Case Details

The firm is proud to have handled the case of David Zeller. Mr. Zeller woke up with pain and limited strength in his legs. He was suffering from spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal. He was taken by ambulance to San Francisco General Hospital. The physicians at SF General employed by the Regents of the University of California failed to order proper spinal precautions, and an MRI technologist moved Mr. Zeller too roughly from his gurney onto the MRI table. Due to the rough handling, Mr. Zeller became a paraplegic. He tragically took his own life as a result and then the defendants tried to back out of the settlement.

Additional Notes

The U.C. Regents and the City and County of San Francisco Agreed to Pay $1.5 Million Settlement for Man Paralyzed Due to Medical Mistakes at San Francisco General Hospital. Settlement agreement reached on September 30, 2015. Defendants tried to back out of settlement after client's death.
