Pegalis Law Group, LLC recently obtained a jury verdict of $4.7 million dollars for our client. The jury found Dr. Henry Woo liable for medical negligence and lack of informed consent.
Our client underwent an Onyx brain aneurysm procedure at Stony Brook University Hospital and suffered brain damage, causing Hemiparesis. The doctor failed to communicate that the new procedure had not yet been tested on her particular condition, yet urged her to undergo a risky and unnecessary surgery.
The case was resolved pursuant to a confidential agreement. Steven Pegalis and James Baydar represented our client.
