Hired Attorney

Jamie Trapp, was very straightforward. Did not make any promises and provided excellent legal representation. During the year that he represented me, Jamie Trapp never let a week go by without calling, if not with an update on my case, but to see how things were going with me. If I ever need an PI attorney again, I would not hesitate in contacting Jamie Trapp and Associates.

Hired Attorney

I was lucky to have Jamie as my Attorney when I was injured. He cared about my progress and well being and was very knowledgeable about everything. Jamie and his staff took a lot of the headaches away during a tough time and it enabled me to focus solely on healing after my accident. Jamie does not over promise and under-deliver and always met my expectations.

    $12,000,000 — Mother given excessive Pitocin during labor, causing brain damage to her newborn child

    Chicago-area mom, expecting her first child, was admitted to a suburban Chicago hospital. During labor, the doctor ordered Pitocin, which is a drug used to stimulate contractions in order to move the labor process along. Excessive amounts of Pitocin, administered contrary to the hospital's own policies, were administered by the nurses. It was alleged that the doctor failed to monitor the amount of Pitocin given to the mother. The baby was born brain damaged
    requires lifelong 24-hour care. Shortly after filing the lawsuit, the hospital
    doctor offered $12 million to settle the case. This money will be used to take care of the child
    give her as full a life as possible under the circumstances.

    $10,000,000 — Misread ultrasound results in brain injury to newborn

    First-time mom was ecstatic to learn she was having twins. A routine ultrasound taken just prior to her due date showed that the twins were in fetal distress
    emergency procedures needed to be undertaken. The radiologist misread the ultrasound noting it was normal. One of the infants was stillborn at birth
    the other infant suffered profound brain damage until the time of his death at the age of 7. The hospital
    doctor settled the case for $10 million.
