Rubin & Rubin achieved full recovery for a widower and 6 children who lost their mom to an elective surgery. The mother, who suffered a stroke requiring a life-saving craniotomy months earlier, needed plastic surgery to improve the deformity caused by the initial surgery. A plastic surgeon and a neurosurgeon made mistakes during the surgery and immediately afterward in the recovery area rapidly causing the patient’s death. The doctors initially told the family the surgery was a success, but when the mother didn’t wake up, they were deceived by the hospital and the doctors about what really happened during surgery.
The family called Guy Rubin and his team at Rubin & Rubin to intervene and to find out what happened. Decades of experience resulted in fast action by Rubin to get other doctors involved before the family was forced to make the horrific decision to take the mother off life-support days later. That involvement secured critical information preventing the hospital and its risk management department to hide or change records, or to coordinate stories between doctors, nurses and other staff.
Rubin & Rubin aggressively brought the lawsuit, hired world renowned experts, and forced two hospitals and five doctors to pay fair compensation to the husband and daughters who suffered this unimaginable loss. No lawsuit can bring back a loved one, but Rubin & Rubin is committed to justice for victims of negligence. This family received multiple settlements which combined will provide them the tools to achieve educational opportunities, generational wealth, and charity to others – turning a tragedy into a positive.
