$2.5 Million – Death From A Bowel Perforation Missed For Weeks
Death From A Bowel Perforation Missed For Weeks
: Jones V. Anonymous Lexington Kentucky Medical Center
Our client had a bowel perforation that was not timely diagnosed for a number of weeks. He, unfortunately, became septic, critically ill and was eventually correctly diagnosed at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. However, by the time the correct diagnosis was made, he was too sick to rally and recover and died. Crandall & Pera Law attorney Steve Crandall investigated the case, obtained multiple well-known medical experts in the fields of radiology, gastroenterology, general surgery, economic analysis, and general pathology and made the allegations of negligence to the hospital at issue. After a number of months of communication by both sides, a full and final resolution in favor of the family in the amount of $2.5M was obtained. The widow and son will now have the financial help they needed after the death of our client.
Every case is different, and the verdicts and settlement figures listed by Crandall & Pera Law are not a guarantee of similar outcomes for other clients and cases.
