Our client’s husband knew her simple same day out-patient New Jersey laser spine surgery went horribly wrong when, rather than walking out of the surgery center she was rushed by ambulance to University Hospital Trauma Center in Newark, NJ. Turns out, the surgeon cut a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood into the heart called the vena cava. The simple surgery turned into a 9-hour operation that required an incision from the bottom of her stomach, up and across her breast just to save her life. Fortunately, the vascular surgeon at the hospital was able to successfully repair the sliced vena cava. The case was handled by Managing Partner Andrew Finkelstein with New Jersey co-counsel. The case was settled prior to trial for $2,300,000.
