Our Victories

An elderly female had a successful surgery at a hospital for a benign pituitary (brain) tumor but developed some pneumonia after surgery. After she was readmitted to the hospital, a resident (i.e. a doctor in training to become a specialist) placed a nasogastric tube (NG) tube that was supposed to go through the nose, inside the food pipe and down into the stomach.

It was alleged that immediately afterward, the patient began having signs of brain problems, and that what had really happened is the resident placed the NG tube not into the stomach but through the nose and into the brain cortex, thus resulting in her death from bleeding. Clore Law Group, LLC represented the family of the deceased woman and, despite significant limitations on damages under South Carolina law for this type of case, achieved a non-confidential settlement of $1,100,000.

A young woman with neck pain due to a herniated disc, who also had a mild spinal malalignment (known as mild kyphosis/scoliosis) underwent major surgery to correct the conditions.

After the surgery she had severe neck/back weakness, pain, and life-long physical limitations. It was alleged that only the vertebral disc surgery or a limited fusion was necessary, not extensive surgery involving multiple spinal fusions and surgical instrumentation being placed on the spine. The case was confidentially settled by Clore Law Group, LLC.

Clore Law Group represented a patient whose lung cancer was allegedly misdiagnosed and mistreated, with the result that a substantial delay in diagnosis and treatment occurred.

During this time the cancer grew and spread extensively. By the time the cancer was ultimately diagnosed and treated, it had unfortunately metastasized to other organs. As a result of metastasis, the cancer was incurable. Clore Law Group confidentially resolved the case for the patient.

A middle-aged woman in a hospital for surgery is given far too much IV fluids after surgery based on her condition. As a result of that condition and weakening kidneys, she cannot excrete out the excess IV fluid she received in the hospital.

It was alleged that multiple failures, of doctors and hospital nurses, allowed the continued excess fluid build-up, to the point of fluid overload, which was seen on repeated chest X-rays. It was also alleged that, despite this problem, appropriate treatments and medications to diurese the patient were not timely provided, resulting in her death. Mark Clore achieved a confidential settlement for the family.

A middle-aged man present to a hospital emergency department with headache, fever and neurological signs. Radiology imaging of the brain revealed evidence of an early viral infection of the brain that was not timely recognized, nor properly treated with an antiviral medication known as Acyclovir.

After the patient was admitted to the hospital, this brain infection worsened due to further medical mistakes, ultimately resulting in the man's severe brain abscess from infection, sepsis and death. Mark Clore was able to reach a confidential settlement for the family.

A young mother was admitted to a hospital for delivery of her baby at term. Although there were no major problems during pregnancy, the electronic fetal monitor (EFM) strip began showing that the baby was having problems during the mother's labor.

As the labor progressed, so did the worsening of the EFM strip. It was alleged that due to delays by the caregivers in delivering the mother timely, including by emergent C-section, the baby suffered hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) brain injury, cerebral palsy and quadriplegia. The case was confidentially settled by Clore Law Group, LLC for the child.
