Once again, the Law Office of Todd J. Krouner has achieved one of the top settlements of the year for LASIK malpractice. According to Verdict Search, in 2012, our $975,000 recovery for a Staten Island housewife with ectasia was among the largest medical malpractice settlements, and the only reported recovery for a LASIK surgery mishap.
According to a report by Ophthalmic Mutual Insurance Company, the average recovery for successful LASIK surgery negligence claims is less than $100,000.[1] Consequently, choosing a knowledgeable attorney, with experience handling LASIK, and related eye surgery, malpractice cases, is critical to not only having a successful outcome, but also to obtaining full compensation for vision threatening injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a doctor, you should promptly contact an attorney with experience in medical malpractice. The Law Office of Todd J. Krouner has a proven track record of helping patients injured by LASIK (and other forms of medical malpractice) all over the country.
