$7.5 Million Secured for Surgical Glue Injury

December 4, 2024

John Scanlon and Kevin Veugeler secured a $7.5 million dollar recovery for a 57-year- old Chicago area man who was injured during surgery at a Chicago area hospital. Their client went in for a neurological procedure to treat a malformation in the brain that increased this client's chance of having a stroke.


Unfortunately, the surgeon chose to use a material that was difficult to control within the delicate brain vasculature. Doctors commonly use different types of fillers that are injected into malformations to seal it off.


In this case, a type of glue with higher associated risks was utilized on this client, and it escaped into other areas of the

brain causing permanent damage.
