Representative Cases

Medical Malpractice Verdicts and Settlements

Medical errors can lead to complications, disabilities, and sometimes death. The Law Offices of E. Vernon F. Glenn has represented clients who have had major complications from medical errors, sometimes from the simplest operations, such as minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedures. These "one day procedures" if not done properly or monitored at their conclusion can have dire consequences. We represent clients against hospitals and health care providers and their brigades of insurances adjusters and defense attorneys. We pursue health care providers who have not met the standard of care owed to the patient by committing medical errors such as disregard of patients' complaints and symptoms, inattentiveness, improper training, lack of follow-up care, inadequate monitoring, even recklessness or impairment.

Synopses of some of the many cases we have handled for clients are below. Because every case is different, you should be aware that past litigation or negotiation results are not a guarantee of similar future outcomes.

Rolling v. Doctors and Hospital: A child was born with a small hole in their throat. It was repaired but the child soon began to show the same symptoms as before. These symptoms were ignored for forty days despite the parents repeated questions. X-rays taken at the twenty-one day mark clearly indicated the failure of the repair but were not looked at or were ignored. The child finally vomited and aspirated fluid into lungs, which caused instant pneumonia, brain damage, and later death. A lawsuit was filed and the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the deceased child's family. The decision was affirmed by the South Carolina Supreme Court on appeal for a total of 1.3 million dollars.

Nancy v. Doctors and Hospitals: A married client, while undergoing repeat bypass surgery, had his heart cut into by the surgeon as he was reopening the breastbone. Massive bleeding ensued and the husband died.

Rothrock v. Doctors: A client underwent a gallbladder removal procedure. The doctors clipped the wrong ducts, permanently and severely damaging her liver. A lawsuit was filed and settled on the fifth day of trial.

Lisbarb v. Doctor: A client underwent exploratory surgery on her bowel and colon. Her bowel was punctured during the procedure. The doctor attempted to cover up his error, but he was caught during discovery. The case settled for a confidential sum.

Lou v. Doctor and Hospital: A husband underwent gallbladder removal surgery and was discharged despite signs of bloating and pain that were made known to his health care providers. The wife called the hospital many times during the evening and was told that "men are such big babies." The husband died the next morning in front of his wife and family. An autopsy revealed that his stomach had been punctured during his gallbladder removal surgery.
