Attorney: Kenneth
Berkowitz
Settlement: $1,900,000.
Spring 2008
Blume Goldfaden principal Kenneth Berkowitz negotiated a 1.9 million
dollar settlement on behalf of a now 60 year-old woman who
became an incomplete quadriplegic when the physicians treating her failed to obtain an MRI, diagnose an epidural abscess
with cord compression and transfer the patient over an 8-hour
period of time following her presentation in the late evening
to the Emergency Room of a local Hospital with complaints
of severe neck pain of one week’s duration. The woman
had to be transferred to another area hospital for surgery
to decompress the spinal cord but as too much time had elapsed
between diagnosis and transfer, she remained quadriplegic.
