$2,500,000 Medical Malpractice Settlement

Trial Lawyers Ed Walsh and Brad Pollock recently settled Cook County Circuit Court medical malpractice case number 04 L 12491 just prior to trial and after two extensive mediation sessions before the Honorable Thomas L. Hogan. This case involved a 58 year old man whose family practice doctor negligently read four (4) EKG's over a four year time period; ultimately resulting in the tragic death of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.

Ed and Brad were able to achieve this outstanding result by causing the defense expert to admit that the defendant was professionally negligent and further demonstrating the negligence of the defendant doctor through the testimony of two highly respected medical expert witnesses.

The expertise and reputation of the trial lawyers at Walsh Knippen, Knight & Pollock, Chtd. allowed Ed and Brad to retain an internationally respected cardiologist from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Chief of Family Practice Medicine at Thomas Jefferson Medical School and Hospital, Philadelphia.

The trial lawyers at WKKP express their deep gratitude to all of those DCBA members who continue to refer their seriously injured clients to the Firm for limited representation, on a referral fee basis, in the challenging and specialized area of personal injury and medical malpractice trial law.
