Overdose Caused Infant\'s Cardiac Arrest, Settlement Confidential

Settlement/Verdict: Confidential

Attorney: Harry A. Sieben, Jr.
Practice Area: Medication Error
Client Injury: Coma, Brain Damage, Kidney Failure

A 1-year-old boy, born with a congenital kidney disease that required him to be on dialysis, underwent a kidney transplant with his mother acting as his donor. Four days after the transplant, he suffered a cardiac arrest due to an overdose of potassium. As a result of the cardiac arrest, he was in a coma for three weeks, suffered brain damage and the kidney transplant failed.

The case was litigated and settled on the eve of the trial; Harry Sieben was able to obtain a settlement to help with his future lifelong medical expenses and disabilities.
