$2 million for a Massachusetts family: Hospital staff allowed a mother to be in active labor for five hours and failed to deliver the infant earlier. As a result, the baby had a stroke due to lack of oxygen and developed an infection that required surgery. Today, the child suffers from convulsions and an intellectual disability. While no amount of money can erase the pain of a birth injury, it helped this family afford the best possible care for their child.

$2 million for a California family: A bedbound patient with dementia was transferred to an assisted living facility after receiving treatment at an emergency room for emotional issues and an infection. The nursing home staff failed to check on the resident for seven hours after the transfer, and sadly, she passed away less than 48 hours later. This family was able to get justice for a loved one who was neglected.

$1.75 million for a patient: A woman developed a pulmonary embolism from using the birth control medication Yaz^®. When everyday consumers are harmed by dangerous drugs, they may be entitled to compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and more.

$1.16 million for a family: A mother routinely used the weed killer Roundup^® around the family’s pool while her young child was nearby. He was later diagnosed with a cancer called lymphoma. The child required multiple hospital stays for chemotherapy and now needs regular medical care. By taking legal action, this family was able to hold the manufacturer of Roundup accountable for placing a dangerous product on the market.

$1.14 million for a birth control user: A woman was forced to get her fallopian tubes removed due to chronic pelvic pain from a migrating Essure^® birth control device. The legal award made the company take responsibility for its negligence and helped her move forward with her life.
