REPRESENTATIVE CASES:

  • Severe Abdominal Injuries for Failure to heed Patient's Complaints
    The patient complained of severe abdominal pain in the emergency room.  The nurse told the doctor the patient was exaggerating and could wait to be seen.  The patient was left in the emergency room, and by the time surgery was performed she had suffered severe abdominal injuries and must be fed through a catheter.  Michael Ain obtained a $3.5 million settlement before trial.
  • Death of a Baby During Childbirth
    An obstetrician for a large HMO attempted a vaginal delivery of an infant too large rather than delivering by caesarian section.  During the process, the infant's shoulders got stuck in the birth canal and the doctor was unable to deliver him alive.
    Michael Ain obtained a substantial settlement before trial.
  • Disabled Shoulder
    A power plant worker in rural Virginia developed arthritis in his right shoulder. A local doctor performed a total shoulder replacement surgery but inserted the prosthetic head incorrectly into the shoulder.  As a result, the man was disabled from his job and suffered permanent impairments in his normal functions.  Gary Stein won a jury verdict in excess of $900,000 and defeated an attempt to appeal the verdict to the Supreme Court of Virginia.
  • Cerebral Palsy Caused by Obstetric Negligence
    During delivery of a baby boy, his doctor failed not notice that he was suffering "fetal distress" and being deprived of oxygen.  The doctor failed to perform a caesarian section.  The infant suffered seizures shortly after childbirth and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, a condition requiring lifetime care.  Mr. Stein and his co-counsel filed suit against the doctor and hospital which had denied responsibility for the unfortunate outcome.  Shortly before trial the case settled for more than $4 million.
  • Dangerous Medication
    Mr. Ain represented several claimants in a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer of Tryptophan, an over-the-counter product marketed as a sleep-aid and anxiety suppressor. Unfortunately, the manufacturing process was altered rendering the drug unsafe.  Each of the clients represented by Michael Ain and his co-counsel received substantial compensation for their neurological and immunological injuries.
  • Loss of a Leg
    Following a motorcycle accident, William, suffered several fractured bones in his leg.  The bones were set but William suffered an infection that was not timely recognized or treated with appropriate antibiotics by his doctors. William suffered an above-the-knee amputation.  Michael Ain took the case to trial and William received a substantial settlement before the trial ended.

Most medical malpractice cases are difficult to pursue in the legal system. Victims of medical negligence have frequently sustained injury by someone they trusted but who won’t tell them what happened. Beyond this, most state laws place a heavy burden on the victim of medical negligence to present scientific evidence in their case. Defendants normally have easy access to colleagues who will defend them. To be successful, you must have an attorney who both understands medicine and who is a skilled trial lawyer.
To collect compensation for medical malpractice, patients must file a claim for their injuries. Medical malpractice laws are designed to protect patients' rights to pursue compensation if they are injured as a result of negligence. If you believe that you have been the recipient of negligent care by a doctor, nurse, hospital, insurance company or any other healthcare professional, contact Michael Ain or Gary Stein at Ain & Stein, LLC.
