An elderly
gentleman was referred to the firm
to investigate a possible medical
negligence case which resulted in an
amputation of his leg. Since the
malpractice had occurred on Ocean
City, Maryland, and no one had ever
successfully pursued a malpractice
trial in that city, several law
firms had rejected his case.
Once the necessary medical records
had been obtained and evaluated, the
firm filed a lawsuit for this
gentleman. Despite the overwhelming
evidence in favor of the client, the
defense relied upon the fact that a
patient had never won a lawsuit in
that area of the state, refused to
offer any money for settlement, and
the gentleman's case went to trial.
After long and hard deliberations,
the jury returned a verdict of One
Million ($1,000,000.00) for the
gentleman — the first, and largest,
verdict ever rendered in a medical
malpractice case in that part of the
state.

In the fall of
2000, Littlepage & Associates
received a telephone call from the
distressed family of a single Mother
of three (3). When this Mother
went to a prestigious Baltimore
hospital for a minor surgical
procedure, she had unexpectedly
died, leaving her children as
orphans, and her elderly mother with
three children to raise and support.
Littlepage & Associates obtained the
mother's medical records, which
indicated obvious malpractice, and
contacted the legal department of
the hospital to discuss the
malpractice. Within a few months of
contacting Littlepage & Associates, the firm negotiated a settlement
with the hospital which provided the
family of the deceased with ample
financial compensation for their
loss.

In 2005, Littlepage &
Associates represented a 48
year old gentleman who
developed quadriplegia as a
result of medical
malpractice. His case had
been declined by other law
firms but Littlepage &
Associates was able to
obtain a substantial seven
figure settlement for the
victim and his wife,
providing for the lifetime
care he required.
-
In 2007, Littlepage &
Associates represented a 45
year old woman who was
paralyzed because of a delay
in treatment of spinal cord
compression at a prestigious
teaching hospital. The firm
obtained a significant seven
figure settlement so the
victim could adapt her home
and lifestyle to her
unexpected paralysis.
-
In 2012, Littlepage &
Associates represented the
husband and newborn son of a
young woman who died after
childbirth because of
uncontrolled high blood
pressure. Though nothing
could replace the loss of
this wife & mother, the firm
ensured that the son &
husband were well compensate
for their losses.
