$750,000 Recovery
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE-WRONGFUL DEATH
FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE LUNG CANCER IN NEW YORK
WRS Partner, Phil Russotti obtained a $750,000 settlement when our client, a woman in her early 60's, contended that the Defendant hospital failed to follow up on a chest x-ray which indicated a suspicious lesion in the lung, resulting in a delay of diagnosis of lung cancer. Because of the delay, our client's lung cancer metastasized to her adrenal gland and ultimately caused her death. We were able to settle prior to the scheduled court date.
