Spotlight Case
Our clients had a birth injury medical malpractice case dismissed by a court because their previous lawyer had not filed the case within the statutory requirement of five years. They alleged that their previous lawyer had been negligent and we agreed. Our arguments effectively convinced the defendant's insurance carrier to settle the case for the full value of the defendant's $1 million policy limit.
