Unanimous Defense Verdict Achieved in Hotly Contested Wrongful Death Case
We achieved a unanimous defense verdict in a hotly contested wrongful death case. The lawsuit included allegations of failure to do a workup and diagnose lung cancer. The plaintiffs claimed the patient’s symptoms were related to a Pancoast tumor that was undiagnosed, resulting in his death. We were able to establish with the jury the superiority of the defense experts by comparison. We also successfully explained there can be concurrent diseases and there was an objective reason for each and every one of the patient’s symptoms.
