$300,000 Verdict – Medical Malpractice

After checking into Christ Advocate Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois for cardiac bypass surgery in 2005, our client was suspected to have contracted Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), leaving him with a host of health issues including, bi-monthly episodes of leaking from his wound site and chronic chest pain following his debridement surgery where part of his mediastinum was shaved off in an attempt to rid him of the infectious disease. Notably, this verdict is the first against a hospital system in the state of Illinois in favor of a patient who contracted MRSA.
