Plaintiff's claims under the Wrongful Death Act were dismissed pursuant to a motion in limine filed on behalf of the hospital. The trial proceeded with testimony from multiple experts and witnesses, including an ICU nurse who cared for the decedent. Ultimately, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendants finding that the care provided to the decedent was at all times within the standard of care.
The plaintiff was injured when a crane fell on him at work. He retained the Firm's clients to represent him in a Workers' Compensation Action. After a period of time in which the plaintiff received significant medical treatment which was paid for by his employer's Workers' Compensation insurance carrier, the plaintiff was no longer receiving medical treatment. His employer offered him a light duty position. The plaintiff refused and his employer filed a petition to suspend his wage benefits.
