Quadruple Amputee Woman Loses Lawsuit Against Hospital

Posted on Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 at 4:00 am    

Lisa Strong, a mother of 2 and a survivor of septic shock, just lost a $3.3 million dollar lawsuit against Pembroke Pines Hospital for an incorrect diagnosis that contributed to the loss of both her arms and legs. 

After entering the hospital in 2003 complaining of kidney stones, the doctors failed to correctly diagnose Strong for several hours, causing her to go in to septic shock.  Her immune system began fighting the infection by protecting her most vital organ, her heart, thereby cutting off circulation to her limbs.  

Her arms and legs grew weaker as she slipped in and out of a coma, and the doctors eventually had to amputate her arms and legs to save her life.  

Strong has been waiting 5 years for justice, yet lost her case against the hospital.  The jury decided the doctors had done everything they could to save her life and that over 40% of people that endure the same situation dies.  

Strong will endure hardships for the rest of her life.  Although one could argue the hospital did save her life, Strong will have to live her life in a completely backwards manner than she is accustomed.  Simple tasks are now difficult, and holding down a job while raising her 2 children will prove quite difficult.  If you or a loved one has gone through a similar situation, please call your Madison personal injury lawyer at 800-242-2874 to discuss adequate compensation for your struggles.

A Marion man is seeking damages on a Coal Company that
failed to keep him safe while digging in an underground mine.  Anthony Bernardo, a young man, was performing
his daily tasks as underground coal miner, when suddenly, he received an
electrical shock.

The shock has left him permanently injured in many areas,
which include physical and also his emotional well-being.  He experienced loss of wages, loss of earning
capacity, and also a lot of pain and suffering. 

This does not include the loss of enjoyment in many things
he will not be able to partake in again.

Eastern Associated Coal, the company where Bernardo worked,
demonstrated a high level of negligence and irresponsibility by exposing him
and fellow coworkers to a dangerous level of electricity.

The company maintains that they did not violate any rules,
nor are the culprits of Bernardo’s ailments.

happening and are seeking compensation for your expenses and suffering, please
