$1.1 Million – Fatal Pneumonia After Warning Signs Were Ignored
Fatal Pneumonia After Warning Signs Were Ignored
Jane Doe V. ABC Hospital Cleveland, Ohio
A woman in her 50s was in her local hospital recovering from surgery when she began to develop pneumonia. Her oxygen saturation rates dropped several times during the day, and she had signs of chest pain and infection in her lungs. These signs were ignored by the nurses and doctors, and she eventually arrested and died in the early morning. Litigation ensued, and we deployed numerous experts to prove this case. After many depositions, and before trial, we were able to resolve this matter. The decedent and her husband had adopted their grandchild, who was very young at the time of her death. The settlement enabled him to be better taken care of and look forward to a college degree.
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.
