Case Details

Wrongful death settlement for the surviving widow whose husband fell victim to medical malpractice by a Medical Group and its Physician. The husband had a small growth detected on his lung on x-ray. After a series of CT scans showed the lesion was growing and suspicious, the defendants failed to follow-up with the patient because the office “mis-filed” his chart. As a result, the husband fell through the cracks and was never told to have surgery to remove the growth or otherwise treat it. The lung lesion was curable. He died about 3 years later.

Additional Notes

The medical review panel found in favor of the Plaintiff. One month before trial, the case settled confidentially. A Petition for excess damages for up to an additional $1M in compensation is pending against the Indiana Patients Compensation Fund.
