Recent Verdicts

$14,887,525 dollar verdict entered August 25, 2008 in Spokane County Washington for oral surgery negligence--the largest such verdict ever acheived for a patient wronged by an oral surgeon in the country and the highest verdict ever rendered in the Spokane County Superior Court system.

               Mary Schultz Law P.S. handles exclusively medical / surgical / hospital negligence claims, including wrongful death actions arising out of such negligence, and discrimination work, including employment / accomodation discrimination.  

              Trial and settlement results are exceptional. Plaintiff's verdicts from jury trials in the areas of focus include:

• the highest oral surgery negligence verdict rendered in the nation; which is also
• the highest verdict rendered in the Spokane County Superior court system;
• the highest verdict in the state of Washington as of 2003 in a single plaintiff employment discrimination case, and
• the highest securities fraud verdict in the Eastern District of Washington federal court.

        Confidential settlements in both areas have run in multimillion dollar ranges.

         Medical, hospital or surgical treatment done unnecesasarily or negligently can cause catastrophic injury and damage, and change lives and families forever. Recovery of damages is the only mechanism available to compensate for such acts. That same mechanism and recovery is often what assists in changing processes and promoting safety within the community.

         Based in Spokane, Washington, but practicing nationally, Ms. Schultz accepts a limited number of cases to which her full attention can be devoted. Inducted as a Charter Fellow in the New York City originated honorary Litigation Counsel of America organization, Schultz has been included annually in the "Best Lawyers in America" since 2003, and selected routinely as a Washington state SuperLawyer by the Washington Journal of Law and Politics.
