$4,300,000 settlement for failure to treat brain cyst in Illinois

Estate of Wiedenbeck v. University of Chicago

Cheryl Wiedenbeck, a 39-year-old mother, is survived by her husband and two children. The failure to treat a brain cyst resulted in a brain herniation, cardiac arrest and her ultimate death.

Patricia Kennedy was joined by Chicago co-counsel Patricia Bobb in obtaining a $4.3 million settlement for the educational needs of these young girls, and providing for their economic security. The case continues against a remaining hospital and two doctors.

I have known Ira for several decades and without a doubt he represents the best of the profession- a never ending commitment to his clients and a perpetual desire for learning and sharing his expertise with his colleagues. Richard

I found, and still find, that Ira’s firm will evaluate the case fairly and provide the client with a reasonably expectation of the process involved and will avoid giving false hope where there is none. Also Ira’s firm consistently keeps in constant touch with the client as well as referring attorneys so each knows the progress of a case. Finally I can tell you that if I personally were injured, Ira Leesfield is the first person I would call. Michael Browning

Our family highly recommends the team at Leesfield & Partners. Every step of the way, Barbie Leon was there to make sure we were updated on the progress of the case as well as answer any questions we had. Barbie was in constant communication with our family. She is thoughtful and caring and worked hard to make sure we understood everything that was happening around us. Linda
