Buffalo Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer

When John Richmond’s client received the news that he had stomach cancer, he was understandably scared. However, the doctors at a prominent hospital in Rochester, NY assured him that his cancer was in the early stages, and that a simple surgical procedure would allow them to remove the cancer. Unfortunately, due to a major error in the administration of anesthesia during the surgery, our client’s life would never be the same. Following the surgery, the surgeon assured him that it went well, and they successfully removed the cancer. However, when he woke up the next morning in his hospital bed, he began to panic as he realized he was unable to move his legs and had no sensation from his belly button to his toes. After reporting this to a nurse, doctors rushed in to assess his condition. After days of tests and evaluations performed by specialists, it was determined that he had suffered a spinal cord stroke during the surgery, and he would never walk again. Although the doctors told him that they did nothing wrong, our client decided he needed real answers and called John Richmond, whom he knew obtained a significant seven figure medical malpractice verdict against another Rochester hospital on behalf of his aunt. John and his team immediately spared no expense and retained a world-renowned expert neurologist, neuroradiologist, and anesthesiologist to evaluate his case, and ultimately determined that the anesthesiologist had failed to properly monitor his blood pressure during the surgery, resulting in a spinal cord stroke and permanent lower extremity paralysis. With the support of his team of top medical experts, John filed a lawsuit against the doctors and hospital legally responsible for our client’s devastating and life altering injuries. John, with the support of his incredible team and experts, aggressively prosecuted his case, leaving no stone unturned. John spent significant time with his experts, traveling around the country to meet with them and learn the medicine in preparation for trial. In addition, to ensure that his client would be fully and fairly compensated for his injuries, John retained the best life care planner, economist, and physiatrist in New York State. Despite the defense team’s repeated “no pay” approach to the case, John was ultimately able to secure a significant confidential seven-figure settlement on behalf of his deserving client. John then worked with prominent settlement planning professionals to ensure that his client’s money would be protected and available to ensure he would be taken care of for the rest of his life.
