Case Details

A $4.5 million settlement was reached with Frankford Hospital and doctors for the wrongful death of Joseph Ruzzi, a 20-year-old college student who died in 2003 from post-operative bleeding after a spleen removal, due to alleged failure to discover and treat the bleeding.

Additional Notes

Slade H. McLaughlin of McLaughlin & Lauricella represented Ruzzi’s parents. The settlement details were made public, an exception to typical confidentiality. The Ruzzis expected to collect at least $4 million.
