Wrongful Death

$1 Million Dollar Settlement. David Ansley represented the widow and minor children of a 31- year-old man who was hospitalized for kidney stones. While hospitalized, the patient developed a perforated intestine due to underlying diverticulitis. This condition went untreated for 3-4 days despite x-rays demonstrating air within the abdominal cavity. By the time the perforated bowel condition was diagnosed, the patient was gravely ill. As a result of his massive abdominal infection, the patient died. The case settled for $1,000,000.00. $150,000.00 was allocated to his surviving parents, with the remaining $850,000.00 allocated to his widow and two children.

Confidential Settlement. David Ansley represented the surviving spouse and minor children of a 33-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with extreme abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with constipation when in fact she suffered a twisted bowel. By the time a surgeon was consulted and made the diagnosis, her condition was irreversible and she died of dead bowel.

Slip and Fall

$150,000 Settlement. Don Woody represented an elderly woman who had fallen over a large plastic box in the hallway of her church resulting in a laceration of her eye.

Product Liability

$1.2 Million Dollar Verdict. Don Woody represented a 16-year-old boy who was trying to jump-start his car battery when the battery exploded and a piece of the battery flew up and put out his eye. A University of Arizona battery expert determined that the vent caps on the car battery were defective in their design because they permitted a spark to enter the battery and cause hydrogen gas to explode.
