Beating Goliath

In 2014, Billy Fern was filled with optimism about his future. The 25-year-old recently graduated from Elmhurst University, was working for a local government, and loved being active outdoors. But Billy’s life took a devastating turn when his foot was amputated due to medical negligence. Despite seeking help for weeks, his doctors failed him. When someone finally took notice, it was too late.

In Season 4 of “Beating Goliath: A Plaintiff’s Pursuit of Justice,” you will hear about the heart-wrenching circumstances that led to Billy’s amputation and how he overcame a horrific injury both physically and mentally. You will also hear how the attorneys of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard obtained a record-breaking verdict for Billy, sending a strong message to the medical industry and healthcare workers that no one deserves to be overlooked, and when they are, there are serious consequences.
