$4 Million Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Settlement for a Spinal Cord Injury in West Palm Beach

A patient received a $4 million payout after sustaining a severe cervical spinal cord injury during a medical procedure in West Palm Beach. While the patient was under general anesthesia for a cervical epidural steroid injection at an outpatient center, the pain management physician negligently punctured the patient’s dura with a 20-gauge epidural needle. Despite causing direct trauma to the spinal cord, the physician continued to inject the epidural medication directly into the spinal cord itself.

This catastrophic medical error resulted in monoplegia, leaving the patient permanently paralyzed in their dominant right arm. These devastating physical impairments permanently altered the client’s daily life, ability to work, and overall independence. Even though liability was completely denied during the pre-suit investigation, our dedicated West Palm Beach medical malpractice attorneys refused to back down. The $4 million lawsuit settlement achieved by our medical malpractice attorneys allowed the victim to cover the extensive costs of ongoing medical care, adapt to their permanent loss of function, and secure their financial future without facing severe economic strain.
