Representing Victims of HIV Wrongful Medical Record Disclosure

Mogab & Hughes Attorneys represent victims of wrongful disclosure of HIV medical records and health information per HIPAA.  If you have been the victim of wrongful medical record or health information disclosure, and would like to discuss a possible case, please contact us.  The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has moved to strengthen the Privacy and Security protection for health information established under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The Omnibus rule greatly enhances a patient’s privacy protections, provides individual’s rights to their health information, strengthens the government’s ability to enforce the law, and thus provides the public with increased protection and control of personal health information.

Please contact us at 314-241-4477 if you have been a victim of wrongful HIV medical record or health information disclosure.

 

Slip and Fall Case Settled for $375,000

During April, 2015, I recovered $375,000.00 following a slip and fall injury.  My client suffered a back injury which required months of medical treatment.  I filed the lawsuit in St. Louis City Circuit Court. Prior to filing the lawsuit and during 2 years of litigation, the defense made no offer to resolve the case.   However, at mediation two weeks prior to trial, I was able to recover $375,000.00 for my client’s injuries. The case involved a slip and fall on a wet floor at a commercial building; the defendant’s employee had been mopping in the area of the fall and left the area wet without posting any sign or warning.  I was able to prove that the defendant’s employee was responsible for the wet floor and that the employee knew of the wet condition but did nothing about it, and as a result, my client was injured.

Car and Truck Accident Recent Cases

In January, 2015, I resolved an automobile accident claim for the negligent driver’s $100,000.00 policy limits.  Our client suffered numerous sprain and strain injuries and also suffered a torn rotator cuff requiring shoulder surgery as a result of the accident.  After months of negotiation, the negligent driver’s insurance company offered the $100,000.00 policy limits, and I am now pursuing our client’s underinsured motorist coverage in an effort to obtain additional damages on her behalf.

I also recently settled another automobile accident claim this month for the negligent driver’s $50,000.00 policy limits.  Our client suffered an injury to her hip requiring surgery and missed many days from work as a result of her injuries and ultimate hip surgery.  I am now pursuing an underinsured motorist claim on behalf of our client in an effort to obtain additional damages on her behalf for medical bills, lost wages, past, present and future suffering, and potential for future medical care.
