$950,000 Recovery for Woman with Hand Tremor Post-Hysterectomy

A young woman underwent a hysterectomy, but during the procedure suffered an IV infiltration that required an emergent fasciotomy. However, given the length of time of the infiltration and amount of fluid accumulated in the hand, she suffered a severe nerve injury resulting in a permanent and unrelenting hand tremor. After resolving the case with the underlying healthcare provider, Kent Winingham was able to recover an additional $950,000 from the Patient’s Compensation Fund. Before the young woman sought WKW’s guidance, her case had been reviewed by a separate firm and physician expert, and declined. WKW, however, analyzed the case from a different angle, took a chance, and ultimately secured a significant recovery.
