$900,000 Settlement in a Case Against a MRI Center

Attorney Peter Zneimer obtained a $900,000 settlement on the eve of trial for an MRI patient. Our client went to an MRI facility in order to undergo a MRI testing that had been prescribed by his doctor. During the test our client fell from the MRI table and suffered injuries. The MRI center denied that our client ever fell. We hired a private investigator to track down the MRI center’s former receptionist who had moved out of state. The receptionist not only confirmed that our client fell, but also gave us a ‘smoking gun’: according to the receptionist, the person who administered the MRI to our client was the center’s marketing person, who was playing doctor, while the real doctor was out shopping! Faced with the receptionist’s testimony, the MRI center quickly offered to settle the case. Peter Zneimer was the attorney on this case.

Jury Trial Victory

After almost ten years of legal battles, a Cook County jury ordered the defendant to pay for our clients’ harms and losses as a result of an intersection related car accident. For years, the defendant denied that he was responsible for our clients’ injuries and refused to pay for their damages. He claimed that because our clients were in a car that was making a left turn, and he was going straight, our clients were responsible for their own injuries. The jury disagreed with him. After deliberating for less than two hours, the jurors ordered the defendant to pay for causing our clients’ injuries. Sofia Zneimer was the attorney on this case.

$225,000 in a Nursing Home Resident’s Broken Hip Case

Our office obtained $225,000 for a nursing home resident who fell in a nursing home, breaking her hip. The nursing home denied that our client fell and argued that her broken hip was caused by a a spontaneous fracture due to osteoporosis. However, we presented an expert’s report, in which the expert unequivocally stated that to a reasonable degree of orthopedic certainty our client’s injury was traumatic in origin and consistent with a fall or being dropped. During a binding mediation, a neutral judge determined that the nursing home was negligent and that our client suffered traumatic injury and awarded her $225,000. Lawsuits against nursing homes compel nursing homes to recognize that they are responsible for our loved ones that we have entrusted in their care.

Peter Zneimer was the attorney on this case.
