: Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyer BlogFailure to perform timely PSA tests leads parties to settle wrongful death case for $875,000
By Hurley, McKenna & Mertz
A recent wrongful case involving claims that a doctor failed to diagnose prostate cancer settled for $875,000. The decedent?s estate claimed a hospital and treating physician failed to perform annual prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in the two years before the diagnosis.
The facts alleged that the plaintiff underwent regular annual physicals. But, when he was 52, he underwent a digital rectal exam and was then diagnosed as having metastatic prostate cancer. He underwent treatment but died six months after his diagnosis. He was survived by his wife and two adult children. The parties settled before suit was filed.
