Medical Malpractice


$3,110,000 Medical Malpractice case against Municipal paramedics for infant that suffered brain damage. Paramedics failed to follow their training and did not transport a baby that was having breathing problems. The babysitter that was caring for the baby called 911 and described that the baby was having breathing problems. Paramedics arrived and they examined the baby, during which time the babysitter told the paramedics that the baby was still having breathing problems. The paramedics said the baby appeared normal and did not take the baby to the emergency room. Paramedics failed to take a complete history of the baby’s symptoms and failed to realize how sick this baby was. Approximately two hours later, the baby suffered a hypoxic event that caused permanent brain damage. Medical malpractice claims against a Municipal entity are much more difficult because, Municipal employed paramedics are protected by governmental immunity. Therefore, in order to recover in this case we had to prove that the paramedics acted with reckless disregard for the safety of the infant. This is a much more higher standard of proof. Medical Malpractice lawyer George Argionis retained some of the leading medical experts in paramedic care, neonatology and pediatric infectious disease in the United States to assist in this case.

Slip and Falls


$800,000 Premises liability slip and fall injury. Condominium complex gutters would freeze over in the winter and pour water, which would freeze, into a covered walkway staircase of the complex. A 32 year old man slipped on the ice and broke his ankle while walking down the icy stairs. Thirty days later he died from a pulmonary embolism, a rare complication of his ankle fracture. Illinois law provides immunity from suing a property owner for failing to timely remove snow and ice from their property. Personal injury premises liability attorney George Argionis alleged that the condo complex attic space was not properly ventilated and not properly insulated and thus would cause an ice damming condition which caused the gutters to freeze over and pour freezing water into the staircase where the person was injured.
