Christopher Spinelli

I am a plaintiff's personal-injury attorney. I only pursue cases against healthcare providers that are clearly meritorious and supported by the highest-quality experts and peer-reviewed literature in a given field of medicine. Medical errors claim thousands of American lives every year. I believe lawyers and doctors have a responsibility to fix these wrongs where possible through the court system. One goal of every medical malpractice case, regardless of what happened, is to improve medical care for everyone in the communities where I live. Every case is different and the result in one case does not mean a similar result in another case. Recent cases include: $440,000 Settlement for Car Accident Injuries alleged: Lumbar Disc Bulge, Low back injuries, soft-tissue strain/sprain Special Damages: $120,000.00 Henrico Circuit Court--Jury verdict of $300,000 for a motorcyclist injured by a wrongful lane change Confidential--settlement of $775,000 against podiatrist for failing to properly perform surgery on a patient's foot Confidential--settlement of $725,000 against ER facility for failing to diagnose and treat angina that led to heart attack Richmond Circuit Court--Jury verdict of $700,000 against physician who negligently performed spine operation Confidential, Richmond Circuit Court--Jury verdict of $1.5 Million against an OB/GYN who failed to timely respond to necrotizing uterine abscess Confidential, Richmond Circuit Court--Settlement of $1 Million for the rental of a defectively maintained vehicle which went off the road, seriously injuring the plaintiff Confidential, Richmond Circuit Court--Settlement of $850,000 for loss of left kidney and damage to gallbladder and spleen as a result of the transection of her left ureter during a colostomy with Hartmann procedure
