Settlement for neurological injury caused by medical malpractice. After receiving treatment, the client developed serious neurological issues. The case settled for a confidential seven-figure amount before trial, despite a conservative venue and strong defense experts.
Six-Figure Medical Malpractice Settlement
Settlement for wrongful death of a pediatric hospital patient. After the child's nurse claimed that she attempted to (and the standard of care required her to) immediately contact the doctor about the child's coffee ground emesis (vomit), the hospital's audit trail showed the nurse never attempted to contact the doctor until after a code was called, a time of at least 20 minutes. This case settled soon after mediation and before the defendant ever identified an expert witness.
Seven-Figure Auto Injury Settlement
Settlement for traumatic brain injury caused by a motor vehicle collision. A severe auto crash left the client with a significant brain bleed. The case settled for $1,275,000, the opposing party's full policy limits, before a lawsuit was ever filed.
Six-Figure Fatal Auto Crash Settlement
Settlement for a fatal crash where an insurance company initially blamed the client's late wife for the crash and paid the other driver's policy limits. After a thorough investigation, obtaining records, and proving she was not at fault, the insurer paid the client $500,000, matching the amount already paid to the other driver. The case settled without filing suit.
Six-Figure Breach of Privacy Settlement
Settlement for breach of privacy involving unauthorized video sharing. A person publicly shared highly private videos of the victims. The case came to Brian Cathey just before the statute of limitations expired, requiring swift action and a tolling agreement. It settled for $225,000 without filing a lawsuit.
