Recent Experience Highlights

Client Story:  Representation of a Psychiatrist and Psychiatric Hospital

Where we started:  A 30-year old, married patient committed suicide while admitted to a psychiatric hospital.  Her family filed a lawsuit centered around a wrongful death claim, with a significant economic loss element of damages. Our roadmap:  Representing both the psychiatrist and the psychiatric hospital, we were able to impeach the plaintiff’s medical expert, which led to settlement. Resolution:  We settled for a total payment to the plaintiffs of $35,000.
