Turning the Tables: How We Secured a $3.2 Million Verdict in a Slip and Fall Lawsuit

In a recent legal battle, attorneys Brendan Lupetin and Maggie Cooney of Lupetin & Unatin, LLC, achieved a remarkable victory for their client, Dr. Alonge, a Navy veteran and dedicated oral surgeon. Facing an unfair offer of $150,000 to settle a slip and fall lawsuit, they managed to secure a staggering $3.2 million jury verdict in Erie County, Pennsylvania. How did they accomplish this incredible feat? Let’s dive into the story.

Patient Suffered Permanent Nerve Damage Due To Botched Saphenous Vein Harvest

This case involves a gentleman in his 60s who suffered needless injury due to medical negligence during his preparation for a coronary bypass surgery (CABG). In preparation, the doctors planned to perform an endoscopic vein harvest of the patient’s saphenous vein. The patient was placed under general anesthesia, and a physician’s assistant endoscopically attempted to remove the necessary saphenous vein from the patient’s leg. Due to lack of proper supervision and experience, the PA mistakenly removed a large portion of the patient’s saphenous nerve instead of the vein, causing permanent and avoidable nerve injury in his leg as a result of the physician’s assistant failing to follow the standard procedure for vein harvesting.

Failure to Understand Allergy Leads to Woman’s Death

A patient was undergoing a procedure in a hospital when she had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic being administered, causing cardiac arrest. She was successfully resucitated and her surgery was rescheduled.

The drug was administered. The patient died.
