After a serious injury or wrongful death, there is often pressure to resolve the case quickly. But settling before the full impact is known can leave significant compensation on the table.

A strong result depends on understanding the injuries, future care needs, lost income, damages, and responsibility before decisions are made.

At McEldrew Purtell, we help clients understand what is at stake before accepting a resolution.

Pallet jack crush injuries can turn one warehouse shift into months of surgery, pain, and uncertainty. These injuries may lead to fractures, nerve damage, permanent weakness, limited mobility, or an inability to return to the same work.

It is important to have access to counsel that understands warehouse injury cases, knows how to investigate what happened, and can help determine whether an equipment manufacturer, maintenance company, property owner, contractor, or another party may be responsible, to develop the strongest possible claim.

If you or someone you know suffered a serious pallet jack or warehouse crush injury, contact us for a free, confidential case evaluation.

Sepsis can turn a preventable infection into a life-threatening emergency.

During Sepsis Awareness Month, we are highlighting the serious injury cases where sepsis can become part of the harm, including nursing home neglect, hospital and medical negligence, surgical complications, birth injury, infected wounds, and other catastrophic injury matters.

The key question is often what happened before the infection became critical: Were warning signs missed? Was treatment delayed? Was the infection preventable?

McEldrew Purtell investigates serious sepsis cases and the failures that may have contributed to them. Contact us to discuss a potential case.

A newborn infection can become a brain injury case within hours.

Poor feeding, breathing problems, temperature instability, or unusual sleepiness may be early signs of neonatal sepsis or meningitis. When providers fail to investigate worsening symptoms, obtain cultures, administer antibiotics, or escalate care, the consequences can include seizures, developmental impairment, permanent brain damage, or death.

McEldrew Purtell reviews neonatal infection cases involving possible delays in diagnosis or treatment. Contact our team for a free confidential case evaluation.

A warehouse fall can cause permanent brain damage, paralysis, or death in seconds.

These incidents often involve more than a worker losing balance. Missing guardrails, unsafe ladders, forklift-raised pallets, unprotected dock edges, defective equipment, and production pressure may all contribute.

The conditions can change quickly after a fall, making early preservation of video, equipment, inspection records, and witness accounts critical.

Contact McEldrew Purtell to discuss a catastrophic warehouse fall and the serious injuries that can result, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, paralysis, and wrongful death.

Our firm has successfully litigated warehouse fall cases and secured meaningful results for clients with catastrophic injuries.

At McEldrew Purtell, we don't file a complaint and investigate later - we investigate first, build the litigation strategy, and apply pressure from day one.

Before filing a lawsuit, we preserve evidence, identify responsible parties, assess damages, and prepare for likely defenses. This work helps avoid gaps and strengthens the case from the start.

Four surgery patients received the wrong medication at Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown. One patient was reportedly left paralyzed.

The hospital confirmed that the patients mistakenly received potassium phosphate instead of mepivacaine during joint replacement procedures. All four experienced adverse reactions.

A medication error this serious raises questions about every safeguard that should have stopped the wrong drug from reaching a patient.

McEldrew Purtell is actively investigating serious medication-error matters. If you or a family member suffered a serious injury after receiving the wrong medication, contact our team.

Sepsis deaths rarely happen suddenly. They are often the result of repeated missed warning signs and delayed action.

- A worsening bedsore that was not properly treated.
- A UTI that went unaddressed.
- Oxygen levels quietly dropping.
- A hospital transfer that came too late.

The critical question in every case is what the facility knew, when they knew it, and why the resident was not sent for urgent care sooner.
