Mr. Bushman successfully pursues medical malpractice litigation against doctors, hospitals and other providers where their treatment has caused personal injuries to the client and where the litigation may require only one expert witness.

The nurse at the hospital where the client was staying inadequately hook up the morphine drip to the intravenous solution leading to the client’s arm and the morphine fell on the floor the entire night. Needless to say the client was in excruciating pain for the entire night and only in the morning did the attendant discover the error.
