Our Successes

Robin and Hunter represented a vibrant professional woman who went into an Atlanta-area hospital for outpatient kidney stone surgery. Surgery was performed by a physician who flew solo in a surgery he had never previously performed and cut her bowel in the process. She remained in her hospital bed progressively deteriorating for 11 days before she was taken back to surgery to repair the bowel injury. She had grown so ill by this point that she eventually passed away. Robin and Hunter negotiated another multi-million dollar settlement for the family.

Robin and Hunter represented a family where an expectant mother came to the Hospital suspecting that she felt amniotic fluid leaking. The baby was moving, and once again the tracing was characterized as a Category 2 tracing, but nothing was done to improve it. Eventually, the patient’s OB was called, but when the doctor failed to appear timely, no call to the hospitalist working at the facility was made to ensure an emergent Caesarean Section. When the patient’s OB did finally arrive at the bedside, the fetal monitoring was discontinued, but delivery was further delayed, resulting in a devastating brain injury. Robin and Hunter negotiated a multi-million dollar settlement for the family.

Robin and Ed tried a case for the death of a construction worker when he was killed in the emergency lane of the highway by an 18-wheeler. Despite low income numbers, the jury found the life of the decedent to be so exemplary and joyous that they awarded millions of dollars in damages, and another one million dollars for pain and suffering for one second of fear suffered by the decedent when he realized the truck was headed toward him.

Robin represented a victim of medical malpractice when, during discovery, new evidence was found of violations of hospital policy. The Hospital fought against the addition of the new claims. Litigating through the Court of Appeals and to the Georgia Supreme Court, Robin successfully clarified the Georgia law on when new claims “relate back” to the claims known at the time suit is filed.

Robin and Hunter represented an expectant mother who came to the Hospital because she hadn’t felt the baby move earlier that day. The electronic fetal monitor was applied, and even though the biophysical profile was ok, the tracing never improved. Because the tracing was characterized as a Category 2 tracing, the doctors and nurses did nothing but observe. The providers waited for the tracing to become Category 3 before intervening and the baby was emergently delivered in a catastrophically injured condition. Robin and Hunter took the Hospital and delivering physician to task and recovered a multi-million dollar settlement for the family.
