Jorge\u2019s doctors decided to perform a Caesarian section to deliver Jorge\u2019s child. During the surgery, Jorge contracted necrotizing fasciitis, a frightening infection that kills flesh and organs at a rapid pace. As a result of the infection, Jorge lost all of her limbs and several internal organs. Jorge\u2019s hands had to be amputated to the elbows.<\/p>\n<p>Jorge sued four doctors and five nurses for negligence and medical malpractice in causing Jorge\u2019s horrific personal injuries. Jorge argued that the medical professionals in charge of her care failed to monitor her situation and failed to provide adequate care. The doctors and nurses defended their performance by stating that they were not negligent in caring for Jorge.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, September 5, Jorge agreed to a settlement of all her claims against all defendants in exchange for $9.5 million. The settlement was entered in Lowell Superior Court in Lowell, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>If you or a loved one have been injured due to the negligence of a Massachusetts medical professional, please call our <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-personal-injury-types-lawyers-attorneys.php\">Boston, MA accident injury attorneys<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-medical-malpractice-lawyers-attorneys.php\">Boston, MA medical malpractice lawyers<\/a> or Boston, Massachusetts wrongful death accident attorneys for a <strong>free, confidential consultation<\/strong> at <strong>617-787-3700, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If more convenient, you can always send a detailed description of your <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-medical-malpractice-lawyers-attorneys.php\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>medical malpractice<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a> claim to our specialist Boston personal injury lawyers, <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-medical-malpractice-lawyers-attorneys.php\">Massachusetts medical malpractice personal injury attorneys<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-wrongful-death.php\">Boston, MA wrongful death lawyers<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-contact-gilbert-hoy-lawyers-attorneys.php\"><strong>info@gilhoylaw.com<\/strong><\/a>.
