Representative Cases

Medical malpractice action brought by a man who was misdiagnosed with an inoperable form of pancreatic cancer, when in fact he had a more operable form of the disease. He alleged that he could have had surgery while the disease was still treatable, and that he instead underwent difficult and ineffective chemotherapy. He sued the physician and medical facility where he was treated, as well as the pathologist who mis-identified the form of cancer.

Medical malpractice case brought by a young man who developed “compartment syndrome” from an allegedly incorrectly set and casted broken forearm. Plaintiff claimed the defendant physician’s assistant and supervising emergency room physician failed to identify the developing condition upon his later visit to the emergency room, days after the arm was originally placed in the cast.

Medical malpractice action initiated by a man who alleged he was incorrectly diagnosed with prostatitis for over two years, when in fact he had developed prostate cancer. Plaintiff alleged that he was forced to undergo difficult treatment for advanced cancer. He ultimately succumbed to the disease while the case was pending, and his surviving spouse continued to prosecute the case through trial.
