Case Details

Matthew Dudley reached a settlement agreement on behalf of a woman who was victimized of medical malpractice, the highest medical malpractice settlement in DeKalb County history. The woman went in for treatment at Kishwaukee Community Hospital’s emergency room when she was diagnosed with cellulitis. She was sent home from the emergency room after doctors observed markedly abnormal laboratory results and a red, swollen right arm. She returned to the ER 19 hours later with a bacterial infection that had not been monitored properly. The plaintiff suffered profound septic shock resulting in the amputation of both legs below the knee and the loss of most of her fingers on both of her hands.
