Medical Malpractice Suit Filed in Castration Case

After complaining of groin pain, Cincinnati resident Stephen Kosti was admitted to an area hospital to undergo an exploratory procedure. During the diagnostic test, Dr. Gary Kirsch determined that the right testicle should be removed, as there was a strong possibility that potentially fatal cancer was the culprit behind the pain. After the procedure had been performed, Kosti sought a second opinion. Further tests determined that the removed testicle was completely cancer-free. Kosti has initiated a malpractice lawsuit in the case, requesting a jury trial.

Horse-Car Collision Prompts Personal Injury Lawsuit

Mairead Coogan certainly didn’t expect to collide with a horse as she was driving in the northern New Mexico town of Tesuque, but that’s exactly what happened to the new teen driver in August 2007.

Chicago Area Family Awarded $9.75 in Birth Injury Settlement

When Rosa Lopez’ pregnancy entered its 41st week, her doctors decided to induce labor with the drug Pitocin. However, the drug’s action proved to be too intense, putting the fetus under pressure and depriving the baby of much-needed oxygen during delivery. As a result, the child, Madeleine, suffers from severe brain damage and will require ongoing care for the rest of her life. After several years of negotiation, the individual doctors were dropped from the suit and the hospital agreed to pay a settlement of $9.75 million.

Last-Minute Settlement in Hotel Electric Shock Case

When a 47-year-old commercial airline pilot decided to take a hot shower in his Virginia Beach hotel room before taking off on another long day of flying, he certainly wasn’t expecting to receive an electrical shock that would essentially put an end to his decades-long career. An exposed light bulb near the shower stall emitted a strong shock after being splashed with water from the shower, and when the pilot’s hand accidentally grazed the bulb, he received a shock so powerful that he was temporarily knocked unconscious. Later, it was found that the shock had caused irreparable damage to his optic nerve and vision acuity, rendering him unqualified for continued service as a pilot. After a trial, the parties settled for $1.5 million before the jury could return a verdict in the case.
