$425,000 Negligent Cosmetic Surgery
Our client, a 61 year-old gentleman, underwent cosmetic surgery to his face and abdomen. Afterwards, the plaintiff sustained infections to his surgical wounds in the abdomen and experienced some neurological trauma to the facial region. We claimed that the defendant/cosmetic surgeon failed to arrange for proper follow-up care resulting in the infection, and that the facial surgery was performed carelessly thus damaging a nerve. Our client’s malpractice suit was settled for $425,000 and, in addition, the physician was disciplined by the State as a result of his treatment of this client.
