Verdicts and Settlements in Past Ohio and Kentucky Cases
$15M Settlement
in Medical Malpractice Case for Failure to Diagnose Strep Throat
Two-year-old Max True unknowingly contracted strep throat from other children at his daycare. After providing care at home for a few days, his parents brought him to a local urgent care for evaluation. A rushed physician spent only a few minutes with Max before diagnosing him with a virus and sending him home. The clinic never performed a strep throat test, despite evident symptoms.
Tragically, Max's untreated strep throat led to sepsis and septic shock, a severe condition where the infection spreads throughout the body. When Max was brought to the hospital two days later, the infection had already caused significant damage, resulting in brain injury and the amputation of both his legs and arms.
Steve Crandall of Crandall & Pera Law filed a lawsuit on behalf of Max and his family, securing a $15M settlement. This substantial settlement will cover future medical care and support, including a specially equipped van, a customized home, prosthetics, and ongoing therapy.
$10.31 Million
Verdict After Surgical Stapler Malfunction
Nikki Simon's life was forever altered when an Ethicon stapler malfunctioned during her surgery. The stapler malfunction caused severe damage requiring Nikki to undergo additional surgeries, including the removal of most of her large intestines. As a result, Nikki now must use a colostomy bag for the rest of her life, making it impossible for her to ever sleep through the night.
While the manufacturer attempted to shift the blame onto the surgeon, the jury sided with Nikki, delivering a verdict of over $10.31 million in her favor.
$20.5 Million
Settlement in Construction Site Case
When a student was tragically run over by a truck at a construction site, Crandall & Pera Law took on his case, representing him and his family against multiple billion-dollar companies, their legal teams, and experts. Although the companies tried to pin the blame for the catastrophic injuries on the student, that claim was ultimately proven baseless.
Crandall & Pearl Law engaged internationally renowned experts and aggressively litigated the case. After years of intense legal battles, we secured a $20.5 million settlement on the first day of the scheduled trial. The case marks one of the largest settlements in Ohio's history.
$5.5 Million
Settlement in 18-Wheeler Broadside Accident
Our client was on her way to a fitness center during her lunch break when an 18-wheeler truck ran a red light and broadsided her vehicle. The woman suffered multiple broken bones and a traumatic brain injury from the collision. Although she retained the ability to speak and sometimes appeared cognitively unimpaired, the brain injury severely damaged her memory and ability to care for herself and others.
With the settlement she gained access to cutting-edge brain injury therapy, which led to some improvement. However, as she remains unable to fully care for herself, the funds in a trust established through the $5.5 million settlement is providing necessary equipment and home modifications to support her ongoing needs.

At Crandall & Pera Law, we work to protect and advocate for injury victims. We represent good, hard-working people like you who were impacted by someone else's negligence. Our injury lawyers focus their Ohio practice on cases involving:
Birth Injuries in Ohio
No one should bear the agony of seeing their child suffer. Birth injuries caused by hospital or doctor negligence are preventable. Sadly, these errors can cause lifelong health problems, such as cerebral palsy or Erb's palsy. Families impacted by this form of medical negligence will often face costly future medical care and other related expenses as they work to provide for the needs of their injured child, sometimes for the rest of that child's life. An experienced Ohio injury lawyer can help you estimate those costs and recover the money you will need to handle all the related expenses – while holding the offending parties accountable.
Can An Ohio Injury Lawyer Help Me?
If you suffered injuries in Ohio because of someone else's negligence, you may have a legal pathway to recover compensation while holding the person who harmed you accountable. However, lawsuits are extremely complicated. From the very start, insurance adjusters may make frequent calls to you in an attempt to settle your case. But these insurance representatives do not have your best interests in mind – instead, they are looking to settle quickly and for less than your case is worth.
A highly qualified Ohio personal injury lawyer can help you recover maximum compensation for medical malpractice, birth injury, personal injury, or wrongful death claims. We strive to take the burden off you during this very stressful time in your life, allowing you to recover:
- Medical expenses, including hospital and doctor's visits, surgeries, medical devices, prescription medication, and more
- Lost wages, including past, present, and future pay you may have lost due to your injuries
- Emotional distress, including the mental anguish you have suffered
- Pain and suffering, including the physical pain you or your family member have suffered
In wrongful death cases, our injury lawyers may be able to recover compensation for funeral expenses and additional non-compensatory damages as well.

What Can a Kentucky Injury Attorney Do to Recover Compensation?
The law offers pathways for recovering compensation when another person causes you an injury through their negligence. Sometimes, pursuing a settlement means negotiating with an insurance provider, while other times, you might be better off taking your injury claim to court. From the very start, a Kentucky injury lawyer can help you by offering legal advice, helping you preserve evidence, negotiating with an insurance provider, and developing a strategy for recovering the compensation you need and deserve.
In many cases, you can collect damages for:
- Medical costs such as hospital bills, doctors fees, surgical expenses, medical devices, prescriptions, and more
- Lost income in the form of past, present, and future pay that your injuries preventing you from earning
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Pain and suffering for you or your family
In wrongful death cases, Kentucky injury lawyers will seek compensation for funeral costs and other damages stemming from your loss.
How Do I Know If I Have a Strong Medical Malpractice Case?
There is really no way to know the strength of your case until you have had it evaluated by an experienced injury attorney. Every case is different, and there are many different types of medical negligence, be it prescribing the wrong medication, misdiagnosing a condition, a surgical error, or something else. Some cases of negligence will be more obvious than others, and you might not even know for sure if the treatment you received was below the required standard of care. Fortunately, you can start getting answers through a free case evaluation.
