Medical Malpractice Lawyer in Beverly Hills Secures $4.25M Settlement in Highly Disputed Case

August 20, 2021 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

The Trial Law Offices of Bradley I. Kramer, M.D., Esq. (BIKLAW) recently secured a substantial $4,250,000 settlement in a highly disputed, complex medical malpractice case pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The case involved a young gentleman who presented to a prominent Los Angeles hospital with severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, consistent with acute pancreatitis. After his transfer to the ICU was delayed, the plaintiff suffered a catastrophic hypoxic brain injury, leaving him in a terminal vegetative state.

This settlement, another in a long line of multi-million dollar settlements over Dr. Kramer’s 17-year career, demonstrates Dr. Kramer’s continuing ability as a https://www.biklaw.com/practice-areas/medical-malpractice/https://www.biklaw.com/practice-areas/medical-malpractice/ to resolve catastrophic medical malpractice cases for maximum value. In 2020, Dr. Kramer’s firm was similarly able to resolve two other catastrophic medical malpractice cases, one for $5,000,000 and another for $2,000,000.

“I am incredibly happy that we were able to resolve this catastrophic case for this family. And I am incredibly appreciative of the defendants in this case, who decided to do the right thing and compensate this family with an amount that will allow their son to continue to receive the medical care he needs to survive,” says Dr. Kramer. “This case involved some incredibly complex medicine, including cardiology, electrophysiology, pulmonology/critical care, gastroenterology, nephrology, and general internal medicine. For a jury to be able to understand and grasp these very complicated concepts in a condensed trial setting would have been asking a lot, so I am elated that we were able to get the case resolved for fair value.”

“When this patient presented to the hospital, the treating emergency medicine (ED) physician described the patient’s condition as critical and recommended admission to the ICU. Later that evening, however, at a shift change, the ED physician handed the patient off to another ED physician, who ultimately admitted the patient to the telemetry floor rather than the ICU. Early the following morning, the patient’s condition continued to deteriorate, and an order was placed to transfer the patient to the ICU. Before that order could be carried out, however, the patient was found unresponsive in his bed. A Code Blue was called, and the patient was ultimately able to be revived but not before suffering a catastrophic hypoxic brain injury, which left the patient in a persistent vegetative state.”
