In one of the most significant legal victories in American history, Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore secured a staggering $121,000,000 verdict for a woman whose life was devastated by medical negligence. This award stands as the third-largest medical malpractice verdict in New York State history, delivered by a Suffolk County Supreme Court jury.
The case centered on a catastrophic failure to timely diagnose and treat Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), a rare but life-threatening skin condition.
