DISMISSAL ON BEHALF OF A CHIROPRACTOR

Attorney, Ken Loock, obtained partial summary judgment dismissal on behalf of a chiropractor in Nassau County in July 2022. Plaintiff alleges that the chiropractor performed negligent manipulations, resulting in multiple injuries including a significant tear of the capsule of the right hip, as well as an injury to the labrum of the right hip. As a result, plaintiff claims to have undergone numerous corrective procedures, including arthroscopic capsular repair and an eventual total right hip replacement. The court found that Mr. Loock made prima facie showing that plaintiff’s claimed injury to her right labrum and the subsequent total right hip replacement were not caused by any act or omission of the defendant.
