Emerson Straw PL Achieved a Six-Figure Settlement in Pinellas County, Florida, on Behalf of an Elderly Client who Suffered Severe Injuries Following a Colonoscopy
Emerson Straw PL represented an elder client who presented to a Pinellas County facility for a routine colonoscopy. After the procedure, nursing staff negligently instructed him to get dressed without providing proper supervision. The nurse left the patient alone without ensuring it was safe for him to ambulate or assessing his condition following anesthesia. While attempting to get dressed, the patient lost consciousness, fell, and struck his head. As a result, he developed a severe hematoma and was ultimately required to undergo two open brain surgeries.
