Brooklyn Medical Malpractice - Brain Damage After Surgery
Anonymous v. Anonymous

Plaintiff Attorney: Eric Turkewitz, Manhattan

A 76 year old Brooklyn man went to a Manhattan hospital in 2006 for hip replacement surgery. In the recovery room he had unexplained pain and then lapsed into a coma.

When he came out of the coma a few months later he was profoundly brain damaged and in need of institutional care.

The matter settled in early 2012 for $3,450,000 with payments coming from the anesthesiologist and hospital.
