"I was treated with the utmost kindness and respect by CMG before and during my trial. I had a difficult case but they never gave me false hopes and stuck with me. Their communication was excellent, and Gene Moen was very gracious to me and my family."

Cases We HandleNegligent Anesthesia John, a 33-year-old man, was admitted to the hospital for a lumbar fusion procedure. He had previously suffered a work-related back injury in his job. The surgery was a two-stage procedure separated by two days. During the second stage, the anesthesiologist administered the epidural anesthesia in a negligent manner resulting in bradycardia. He then failed to respond in time to prevent John from suffering a cardiac arrest, lack of oxygen to the brain, and extensive brain damage. As a result of the injury, John became totally disabled. CMG was retained by John's family, which included his two minor children, and filed suit against the anesthesiologist and the hospital. After extensive litigation, which included many depositions and expert witnesses, we successfully obtained a multi-million-dollar settlement compensating John for his injuries and lost income, two years of care at a special facility for brain-damaged individuals, and 24-hour care at his home later. We also recovered compensation for his children for the damage they suffered because of their father's injuries. © Chemnick Moen Greenstreet |
