Confidential Multi-Million Dollar Settlement
Walkup’s Kaiser attorneys negotiated a multi-million dollar settlement after a Kaiser doctor misdiagnosed a spinal cord injury and performed high-risk neurosurgery on a young girl, causing permanent paralysis. Kaiser claimed that the surgeon did nothing wrong. The Walkup team proved that Kaiser was liable for the young girl’s injuries. The settlement was reached after two days of mediation and included both upfront cash and a long-term annuity to pay for the ongoing medical care.
