SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Samuel Meklir of Sommers Schwartz P.C. received a verdict of $1,050,000.00 on behalf of his client by an Oakland County Jury in a medical malpractice action. The client is a 68 year old paraplegic man whose femur was fractured by his occupational therapist at William Beaumont Hospital. As a result of the fracture, he required surgery to repair the fracture and had no choice but to have a colostomy due to his inability to perform his transfers from his wheelchair due to the limitations he had due to his broken leg. There was no offer from the defendant prior to trial.
