$1,000,000 Settlement – Foot Drop Medical Device Failure Surgical Errors

While undergoing a minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (“TLIF”) surgery, our client’s SSEP neurological vitals dropped dramatically. Rather than removing the “cage,” which the operating physician designed and sold, or stopping surgery, he continued.

Following surgery, the 62-year-old registered nurse and mother of three grown children lost all feeling and use of her lower extremities and was diagnosed with foot drop. Her injuries have required extensive inpatient hospital treatment, rehabilitation, pain management therapy and other medical treatment.
