Settlements And Verdicts

LARGEST VERDICT IN LUCAS COUNTY HISTORY AGAINST DR. ERNEST LINDELL

Josh was only a teenager when he was paralyzed by a Toledo surgeon who negligently plunged an instrument he was using into Josh's spinal cord, causing permanent damage. Despite the obvious negligence Dr. Lindell's insurance company, ProAssurance, denied his claim and fought the case for many years by delaying the case and hiring lawyers to take the case to trial.

Thankfully, a jury found in favor of Josh, his mom and dad, providing the family the largest verdict in Lucas County history: $10 million. Josh has used this compensation for education, equipment and housing better equipped for his paralysis and future medical care, including research and care into curing his paralysis.

MISDIAGNOSIS CAUSED SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE

A 10-year-old girl was diagnosed with a stomach virus when she really had an appendicitis. She was hospitalized for four days where no radiology studies or lab work was done to identify the problem. Her parents kept complaining of her declining health until she arrested from her infection spreading throughout her body. This arrest left her brain damaged and unable to speak, feed herself or take care of herself in any way.

The settlement of $8.5 million enabled her family to take her home, equip a special house for her needs, and provide her with nursing care and future medical care. The family has also invested in unique medical therapy, including hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy and potential stem cell therapy.

ONE OF THE LARGEST SETTLEMENTS IN OHIO HISTORY

Our client was run over by a truck on a construction site. Crandall & Pera Law represented this student, and his family, against several companies, some of which were worth billions of dollars, as well as their law firms and experts. Incredibly, these companies attempted to blame our client for his devastating injuries, a claim that was completely frivolous and eventually disproven. Our firm hired internationally known experts and litigated this case fiercely.

Settled for $20.5 million on the first day of scheduled trial after several years of contentious litigation.
