Illinois Car Crash and Medical Malpractice Combo Case Settles for $1.9 Million – Khourny v. Sarmed Elias, M.D., et al.
Many people’s circumstances never require them to file one lawsuit, let alone two. Yet within the span of four months Jihan Khourny was injured on two different occasions, leading to her filing two different, but related lawsuits – one being an Illinois personal injury lawsuit, the other an Illinois medical malpractice lawsuit. Both cases recently settled for a combination of 1.9 million. Khourny v. Sarmed Elias, M.D., et al., No. 07 L 3871.
The personal injury claim arose from a car crash that occurred in Elgin, Illinois. Khourny was driving along Route 31 when she was hit by another car. The Illinois car accident lawsuit was brought against the driver of the other vehicle and settled for 100,000. The plaintiff was claiming property damage to her vehicle and a neck injury as a result of the car accident.
Shortly after the accident Khourny began seeking medical treatment for her neck injury. Her doctor recommended she try cortisone injections as part of her treatment plan. Cortisone injections are typically given to relieve inflammation and pain and are used for a wide variety of complaints, including arthritis, tendinitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
