London, UK - £2million For Rabbi's Brain-Damaged Son
London, UK - The son of Rabbi Yitzchok and Dena Kleiman from New Jersey, was left catastrophically brain-damaged after suffering heart failure when aged nine today he received a £2.4 million pay-out in London's High Court.
His parents sought damages on their son Shmuel's behalf now 18-years-old, alleging negligent treatment by GP, Dr Anthony Levy.
The Kleiman family were then living in Cranwich Road, Stoke Newington - the same street in which Dr Levy practised.
His QC, David Foskett claimed the doctor had failed to diagnose Shmuel's airway inflammation, although adding that Dr Levy has always steadfastly denied liability for the tragedy.
The £2.4 million settlement was reached on the basis of a 40 percent reduction, taking into account the continued dispute on liability and the risks of litigation.
