In September 2009, Richard Pullano won a $6.5 million dollar settlement for a Chicago area resident who had a cancerous tumor on his spinal column that went unnoticed by three medical professionals. The tumor eventually caused his spine to collapse and his spinal cord to compress, resulting in partial paralysis and several other injuries. The result comes after an initial settlement offer of $1 million.
In 1997, Mr. Pullano won a $4.5 million verdict for a 30-year-old woman whose doctors failed to diagnose early-stage lung cancer that consequently spread to her lymph nodes. Because of her attorney’s relentless efforts in the courtroom, more than 93 percent of the verdict ($4.2 million) was the result of awards for pain and suffering and loss of normal life.
