MEDICAL MISTAKES MAY BE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE—CALL SF BAY AREA MALPRACTICE ATTORNEYS FOR CONSULTATION ON YOUR CASE
Compared to other personal injury lawsuits, such as a car accident, or wrongful death action, medical malpractice lawsuits might be difficult for a layperson to identify. Because doctors and health care officials are so respected in the community and society, it is not often thought of that small or uncommon mistakes would result in a lawsuit. However, this would be best determined by speaking with a professional, such as an experienced attorney at Greenberg & Rudman LLP. Give us a call now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).
In Scranton, Pennsylvania on June 3, 2009, a jury ordered an urologist to pay a former patient $1.88 million for failing to diagnose his bladder cancer. There were two different doctors listed in the lawsuit as well as Wayne Memorial Hospital. One of the doctors and the hospital reached a settlement agreement with the man’s widow prior to trial. The doctors failed to diagnose the man’s cancer even after sixteen months of tests and examinations. In a Michigan court on June 2, 2009, a jury awarded Sue Apsey $2.9 million in her lawsuit against Owosso Memorial Hospital and Shiawassee Radiology Consultants. Apsey claimed that the defendants were negligent in her care and failed to properly treat her damaged bowel after she had an ovarian cyst removed.
