Our attorneys have gained hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for children who sustained serious and fatal injuries because of the careless actions of another. In one such case, wrongful death attorney Roberto Martínez filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 12-year-old who died from electrocution. The inadequate electrical work by Eller Media employees at a Miami bus shelter caused this fatal accident. After a lengthy investigation and trial, we obtained a $65 million wrongful death verdict for his family.
In another case, child injury lawyer Deborah J. Gander also gained a $60.9 million verdict for the parents of a baby boy who suffered a traumatic birth at a Navy hospital. The judge found the clinic performing the delivery liable for medical negligence. In a similar case involving child brain injuries caused by medical malpractice, our attorneys obtained a confidential settlement that was nonetheless the largest sum ever awarded in a Federal Tort Claims Act claim for medical negligence.
