Jury verdict for plaintiff in Wright
v. St. Rose Hospital, et al. tried by RANDALL H. SCARLETT who
served as lead counsel.
On July 16, and July 28, plaintiff,
Stephanie Wright (then an 8 month old child), was rushed by her family
members to St. Rose Hospital for emergency room care. Stephanie maintained
a fever varying between 101° and 103° rectally. She was vomiting and
had lost (by July 28), approximately 10% of her body weight. She became
increasingly lethargic and was irritable. This symptomology persisted,
and in fact increased, despite a ten day course of ampicillin first
administered on July 14.
Despite requests by Stephanie's
family that she be admitted at St. Rose Hospital, defendant doctors
sent the child home with a diagnosis of middle ear infection. Defendant
doctors failed to perform any laboratory testing or otherwise perform
diagnostic testing.
On July 30, Stephanie was rushed
to Children's Hospital, Oakland, whereupon an immediate diagnosis of
H-Flu meningitis was made. Unfortunately, inner cranial pressure had
built up to the point where Stephanie was rendered permanently brain
injured and spastic quadriplegic.
After deliberation, the Hayward,
California jury rendered its verdict, which totaled $26,053,000. The
verdict is one of the largest medical malpractice awards in the State
of California.

District Court judgment for plaintiff
Joseph Alosi in Alosi v. Brandenburg, et al., tried by Randall H.
Scarlett, who served as lead trial counsel, together with his co-counsel,
Cal J. Potter III, Esq.
On March 8, Joseph Alosi was registered
as a guest at the Treasury Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. While seated
at a table across from a friend, the left front leg of the chair on
which Alosi was seated broke and Alosi was thrown in a twisting motion
to the floor. The chair which collapsed under Alosi was a standard room
chair at the Treasury Hotel. There was no evidence that the chair was
misused so as to cause it to collapse.
Joseph Alosi suffered serious and
permanent personal injuries, including severe back injuries necessitating
two surgeries, including a laminectomy and a lumbar fusion. Significant
scar tissue and arachnoiditis subsequently developed.
On April 5, defendant undertook
the legal representation of Alosi in an action against the Treasury
Hotel. In handling Alosi's case, defendant did not properly utilize
discovery, and later lost the case via dismissal.
Mr. Scarlett, together with
his co-counsel Cal J. Potter III, Esq. instituted suit on behalf of
Alosi against the prominent Las Vegas, Nevada attorney who had handled
his case.
At trial, it was established that
plaintiff's underlying personal injury action was lost due to the sub-standard
quality of representation he had received. Although the case was subsequently
settled for a confidential amount on appeal, the judgment rendered by
the Federal District Court in Nevada is thought to be one of the largest
legal malpractice judgments rendered in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Jury verdict for plaintiffs in Formby
v. Bais, et al. tried by Randall H. Scarlett after rejecting
a $125,000 settlement offer.
Plaintiff, William L. Formby suffered
from sleep apnea. The defendant doctor sought to resolve plaintiff's
condition through a "new" surgical process, which entailed
the resection of part of plaintiff's soft palate.
At trial, it was established that
the defendant doctor had breached the applicable standard of care through
improper resection. The consequences altered plaintiff's speech and
eating habits.
Despite defendant's contention
that the amount of resection was a judgment call, and that he was clearly
within the applicable standard of care, the verdict is thought to be
one of the largest, if not the largest, medical malpractice awards in
the Central Valley area of California.

In Greener v. Hospital, et al., plaintiffs brought suit on behalf of their eight year old daughter as a result of a birth injury. Mrs. Greener was asymptomatic, though Beta Strep positive. It was alleged that defendants failed to give prophylactic antibiotics, and further, that defendant failed to appropriately diagnose plaintiff’s child with meningitis following birth.
Plaintiff’s child did develop meningitis. The child went on to develop learning disabilities as a result of the brain damage sustained at birth. The significant settlement resulting from this matter will provide funds throughout the child’s life, including funds for private education, neuropsychological treatment, and other care.
