$45.6MM Award in Medical Malpractice Case Reported by Legal-Bay Lawsuit Settlement Funding

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - June 19, 2015 - PRLog -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports that the Long Island parents of a 14-year-old boy were awarded $45.6 million after their son was paralyzed during spinal surgery and died years later from complications. The patient had scoliosis and went for surgery to have his curved spine corrected. During the surgery, he had 10 screws and two rods inserted into his spinal bone, however, he was paralyzed immediately after the procedure. Later, a scan that was taken revealed that four screws were incorrectly lodged into his spinal cord, causing the boy’s paralysis. The surgery took place in 2002 and the boy died in 2010. Jurors awarded $5 million for pain and suffering for each year from the surgery up to the boy’s death, as well as $5.6 million in damages to the young patient’s mother and father. However, the parents made it very clear that no amount of money would be substantial as it would never bring back their son.

There are close to 100K wrongful deaths each year in the U.S. due to medical negligence. Furthermore, there are over 1 million personal injury lawsuit claims made each year as a result of medical malpractice. Legal-Bay funds medical malpractice, negligence cases, as well as judgment on appeal and verdict on appeal cases, and the company is dedicated to aiding victims and their family members during this difficult time with a lawsuit cash advance until their case can ultimately be settled or tried in court.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented on the recent settlement, “Medical malpractice cases can be highly complex in nature and at times they need to be fought all the way to trial like the case in hand. Unfortunately, plaintiffs need to wait years sometimes to receive cash for their claim, unless they are able to access a lawsuit funding cash advance to hold them over. We are one of the few companies that puts a strong focus on med mal cases and can assist plaintiffs who need money today. In the above case, the defendant has already announced that they will appeal the decision delaying justice even further, however, our company also specializes in large verdict on appeal cases.”

Legal-Bay is currently accepting applications on all personal injury cases that are no fault of the plaintiff and where an attorney is already retained. Legal-Bay specializes in large lawsuit funding amounts and can also assist plaintiffs who have been turned down simply because they have a prior lawsuit advance with another legal finance company.
