Jason Poore
—Esq.
Jason W. Poore focuses his practice on representing those who have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of medical malpractice, hospital negligence, and dangerous products.
Most recently, Poore, a partner, assisted founding partner Joel Feller in securing a major $35 million recovery for a young woman who suffered catastrophic amputations after a uterine infection was improperly treated. The case involved highly complex medical issues, including sepsis and toxic shock syndrome, and required extensive analysis of medical decision-making and surgical timing.
The recovery was achieved through a detailed review of medical records, testimony from numerous healthcare providers, and internal hospital communications demonstrating that timely intervention would have prevented the loss of the patient’s limbs.
Poore also aided Feller and founding partners Robert Ross and Matt Casey in successfully litigating a series of other multimillion-dollar settlements, including:
- $26 million in a product liability and worksite safety case involving the death of a worker using heavy equipment on a construction site
- $18.2 million for the failure to timely deliver a premature baby
- $18 million in a case involving a birth injury causing neurologic disabilities
- $16 million in a case involving neonatal meningitis
- $15 million for the failure to treat and prevent preterm labor and delivery of twins
- $12 million in a New Jersey case involving the improper management of preterm labor and delivery
- $10.5 million in a New Jersey birth injury case involving the failure to properly interpret fetal monitoring tracings
- $10 million in a wrongful death case involving inappropriate obstetrical anesthesia administration
- $9.5 million in a case involving the failure to timely diagnose and treat sepsis
Poore has also worked on several cases involving the failure to diagnose and treat strokes promptly, securing $7.5 million, $6 million, and $5.5 million for individual clients living with the catastrophic effects of the negligence.
