$2,440,000.00 JURY VERDICT in Primary Care Doctors Malpractice Case involving Wrongful Death. Principal Allegation: Failure to offer patient colon cancer screening results in
delayed diagnosis of colon cancer; Metastatic colon cancer; Wrongful death of 56-year-old female patient.
In this medical malpractice case the deceased Plaintiff's Estate ("Plaintiff") alleged that the defendant primary care doctors failed to timely diagnose colon cancer in a 56-year-old female patient who subsequently died of metastatic colon cancer. The physician defendants denied the allegations of negligence, maintaining that colon cancer screenings were offered on multiple occasions to the plaintiff who failed to undergo the procedure.
In sum, the Plaintiff brought this lawsuit against the defendant primary care physicians alleging that they were negligent in failing to offer her preventative colon cancer screenings prior to her diagnosis of colon cancer and in failing to timely diagnose her colon cancer, thus deviating from established acceptable standards of preventative care. The defendant physicians denied the allegations of negligence and maintained that the patient was offered and advised to undergo colonoscopies on at least ten occasions. However, defendant physicians' medical records failed to support the defendants' contentions and made no mention of any such recommendation of colon screening.
The case proceeded to jury trial, at which the jury found for the Plaintiff and awarded judgment in the
amount of $ 2,440,000.00.
