$10.4 Millon Judgement: Medical Malpractice-Halo Screw Penetrated Skull Causing Brain Injury
overview

A young boy had fallen, causing avulsions of all five brachial plexus nerves. When a halo device was installed on the child's head, one of the four pins on the halo was screwed in too far -- almost three-quarters of an inch inside the skull. CT scans showed infarcts and strokes in the right parietal region and a deep stroke in the basil ganglia region. The boy was left with permanent brain injuries and neuro-cognitive deficits.


our strategic approach
Art for Law & Medicine, Inc. is the best in the business. They recieve my highest recommendation.
John Chilson, Esq.

We worked directly with the plaintiff's multiple experts to consolidate all of the complex medical information into a multimedia presentation that showed the screw penetrating the skull, pushing the dura away from the calvarium, ripping the middle meningeal artery and depicting development of the large epidural hematoma that caused the brain to shift 9 mm. The marriage of actual diagnostic imagery with very realistic illustrations proved an effective means for showing the mechanism and extent of the injury without expensive 3D animation.

RESULTS

The jury returned a unanimous verdict on November 7, 2007, in the amount of $10,437,093.
