Failure to Diagnose Case

ADVERTISEMENTS

This is a verdict I just read about.  This medical malpractice case was in West Virginia.  It is a large verdict ($4 million).  The victim presented with "serious abdominal symptoms and complaints".  According to the testimony in the case "surgery would have been needed to correct a life-threatening ischemic bowel condition"  That surgery did not happen and the patient died.

It only took the jury 45 minutes to decide the case.  That is very fast.  Often it takes just that long for the jury to sort out the personalities in the jury room, never mind coming to a decision on negligence AND a value on the damages.
