CHICAGO (September 17, 2024) – The Illinois Law Firm of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. has released Season 4 of the firm’s official podcast, “Beating Goliath: A Plaintiff’s Pursuit of Justice,” which shares a behind-the-scenes look at some of the firm’s biggest trials in history. In Season 4, listeners will hear behind-the-scenes information about the case Billy Fern v. Central DuPage Emergency Physicians et al. and learn how a team of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard trial attorneys obtained a record-setting verdict for their deserving client.
Back in 2014, Billy Fern was an active and adventurous 25-year-old college graduate who was pursuing his personal and professional goals. During that time, he was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism and placed on a blood thinner regimen. As part of his treatment plan, he stopped taking the blood thinners, and about a week later he began experiencing foot pain.
Despite numerous doctor visits and complaints of increasing foot pain, Billy’s concerns were dismissed by multiple physicians. By the time a doctor finally took notice, it was too late. He was forced to have his foot amputated.
In Season 4, you will hear about the heart-wrenching circumstances that led to Billy’s amputation and how he overcame unimaginable circumstances, both physically and mentally. You will also hear how the attorneys of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard obtained a record-breaking verdict for Billy, sending a strong message to the medical industry and healthcare professionals that no one should be neglected, and when they are, justice will be firmly upheld.
