💚 Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day 💚

Cerebral palsy is a lifelong condition that can affect movement, communication, independence, and many aspects of daily life. But behind every diagnosis is a person—with their own goals, strengths, challenges, and story.

As a plaintiff's personal injury firm, we understand that when a child suffers a serious injury, the impact can extend far beyond the initial event. Families may face years of medical care, therapy, adaptive equipment, educational needs, and other significant challenges.

Today is a reminder of why awareness, accountability, accessibility, and advocacy matter.

$2 MILLION MEDICAL MALPRACTICE SETTLEMENT

Matthew Ports and Alex Marsh secured a $2 million settlement in a medical malpractice and wrongful death case involving the tragic death of a patient following surgery.

Our client presented to a rural Illinois hospital for surgical repair of an incisional hernia. The surgery was completed without complication. In the hours following the surgery, and while our client was still in the hospital, her potassium level became critically high (a condition called hyperkalemia). Although the condition was identified on post-operative labs, our client's nurse failed to timely communicate this information to a physician. The result was delayed treatment of the condition by several hours leading to multiple cardiac arrests which ultimately caused our client's death.

While no settlement can undo the loss of a loved one, accountability can provide families with a measure of justice and help protect their future.
