| | GLK Recover Over 10 Million for Victims of Doctor Panos and Mid-Hudson Medical Group |
| Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. has recovered more than 10 million dollars for 18 victims of former physician Spyros Panos and the Mid-Hudson Group . Our dedicated and aggressive team of medical malpractice attorneys, headed by partners Michael A. Fruhling and Jeff S. Korek, worked hard to bring an end to the civil arm of a years-long legal battle that has played out in multiple courtrooms. Unfortunately, the settlement will not bring an end to the grief that their clients and others have suffered. |
| | Nearly six years after Panos surrendered his medical license and pleaded guilty to health care fraud, an arbitrator awarded $141 million to resolve 255 medical malpractice lawsuits against him. This litigation comprised one of the largest medical malpractice lawsuits in New York.
On November 3, 2020, a New York judge ordered Panos’ insurance carrier to pony up nearly $17 million to help pay judgments adding up to about $22 million already paid by other carriers. Even so, the $39 million is well short of the $141 million awarded by the arbitrator.

GLK Files Suit Against Adventure Bound Camping Resorts for the Wrongful Death of a 3-Year-Old Girl Who Died After a Tree Branch Fell on Her |
|
|
|
 |
The legal team at Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. filed a lawsuit on October 23, 2020 against Bound Camping Resorts for wrongful death and negligence causes of action after a 3-year-old girl was killed by a falling tree branch at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Campground.
The plaintiffs are suing H. Wayne Klekamp, Inc., doing business as Adventure Bound Camping Resorts for wrongful death caused by the defendants’ negligence in maintaining the campground. Three-year-old Ellys Martinez was inside a tent at the Yogi Bear Park Campground at Tall Pines in Elmer at 2 p.m. on July 6, 2019, when a falling tree branch struck her. The little girl was taken to Inspira Medical Center where she was pronounced dead. The toddler was fatally struck by a tree branch as a result of the campground owner’s failure to properly maintain the premises. The wrongful death of Ellys Martinez resulted in the emotional distress of her parents, Jose Martinez and Bianka Ramirez. For questions or comment, please contact attorney Jeff S. Korek.
