Food passed through her leading to malnutrition. The essential nutrient Thiamine or B1 was so depleted that permanent damage was caused to her thalmus, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. This case was rejected many of the other top lawyers in Southern California. But Attorney Michael S. Brown took the case and prosecuted it for 8 years, reversed a summary judgment on appeal, conducted 18 depositions, 41 discovery sets, then recovered $7,500,000 on behalf of the client.
