Medical Malpractice Defense Verdict
In March 2007, Vincent A. Nagler defended a neck surgeon accused of improperly performing a tracheotomy on his patient. The plaintiff suffered from a thyroid goiter . A temporary tracheotomy was performed during the removal of the goiter. The plaintiff argued that the surgeon had cut into her thyroid and cricoid cartilage during the surgery, permanently damaging her trachea and causing the resulting permanancy of the tracheotomy. The plaintiff alleged that as a result of the malpractice she would have to live the rest of her life with a permanent tracheotomy tube in place. On behalf of the surgeon, we argued that the tracheotomy was irreversible due to unanticipated scarring and the plaintiff's attendant health problems. After a four week trial in Kings County the jury returned a verdict in favor of our client.
Premise Liability Defense Verdict
In February 2007, Vincent A. Nagler successfully defended a hardware store against a claim of negligence. In the case, tried before a Manhattan jury, the plaintiff alleged that he fell into the store's basement through a sidewalk trap door that was left open and unprotected and suffered a fractured calcaneous. By way of defense, we acknowledged the door was left open to allow deliveries, but argued it was an open and obvious condition. The jury determined that the store was negligent, however it still found for the store, holding that the negligence was not the substantial factor in causing the plaintiff's injury.
