Case Details
Family of Francis Keller, who died after wisdom teeth removal, was awarded $11 million by a jury for dental malpractice due to the oral surgeon's failure to get medical clearance despite Keller's hereditary condition.

Oral surgeon George Flugrad failed to get clearance from Keller's doctor. Keller had a hereditary condition causing swelling to trauma, leading to his throat, face, and hands swelling and airway closing.
