Uncovering the Facts in a Business Deal
In 2011, Santa Barbara Medical Innovations sold Primcogent distribution rights for the Zerona laser, which was billed as a noninvasive alternative to liposuction. But two years later, Primcogent was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to reorganize its business.
Chris Hamilton was able to get to the bottom of the real story of what happened and recover the company’s loss.
“We are grateful that the entire panel of arbitrators paid such serious and close attention to the law and the evidence, in finding that Primcogent would not have entered into the deal if the true legal and financial picture had been properly disclosed,” attorney Chris Hamilton said. “This was a classic case of negligent misrepresentation to induce a transaction. This award will provide a strong measure of justice to the financial victims and creditors.”

A Dallas County jury delivered a $19.7 million verdict against a local doctor on behalf of the family of Katina Clark, who spent more than a year in a permanent vegetative state before her death following brain damage she sustained as a patient at the same hospital where she worked as a surgical technician.

“We are thankful to the jury and the court for their hard work in this case, which ended with the right result,” attorney Chris Hamilton said. “No amount of money will bring back Katina, and she never should have died. Our hope is that this verdict will cause other health care professionals to take better care of their patients.”
