In this first episode of the Willens & Baez Personal Injury Lawyers Podcast, we delve into the heartbreaking case of a 19-year-old man whose life was tragically cut short due to medical negligence. Diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) as a teenager, he sought emergency care at a Chicago-area hospital after experiencing fatigue and abdominal pain. Despite a significant drop in his hemoglobin levels and clear indications of a hemolytic crisis, the medical team failed to provide the necessary aggressive blood transfusions or transfer him to a facility equipped for a potential splenectomy. Over five days, his condition deteriorated, leading to his untimely death.
Join us as we unpack the legal strategies employed by Willens & Baez to hold the hospital accountable, culminating in a $3.8 million settlement just a week before trial. This episode sheds light on the critical importance of adhering to medical standards of care and the relentless pursuit of justice for victims of medical malpractice.
