Attorney: Michael B. Zerres
Settlement: $600,000.
Summer 2007
Blume Goldfaden Partner, Michael B. Zerres,
recently obtained a $600,000. recovery on behalf of a 52
year old client who underwent spinal fusion surgery for
a work related lower back injury. The surgery involved the
use of pedicle screws, which had been improperly placed by the neurosurgeon who performed the surgery. As a result,
the fusion failed, and the client went on to develop a condition
known as "pseudoarthrosis". While no
additional surgery has been performed, this condition has
caused him to suffer ongoing back pain, and has prevented
him from returning to work full-time as a laborer for the
New Jersey Turnpike Authority.
