Case Details
Client , a 53-year-old male, was arrested for a DWI and, after being incarcerated, was denied his legitimately prescribed medication to address neurologically based tremors which, due to the medication, were successfully controlled. This resulted in his going through withdrawal, experiencing seizures and a recurrence of his tremors. Due to repetitive falls within the jail, he sustained severe traumatic brain injury resulting in him needing surgical intervention. There were also claims that doctors in the hospital misinterpreted his cat scans and MRIs .As a result of his injuries, the client was unable to care for his everyday needs and required 24/7 care. At a mediation, the matter settled with the doctors for $1.3 million. Afterwards, shortly before trial, the County of Cayuga settled for $2.4 million.
