Representing Victims of HIV Wrongful Medical Record Disclosure

Posted on by David G. Hughes

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

Posted on by David G. Hughes

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.
