Secures Settlement for Plaintiffs in Medical Malpractice Case
GMT recently concluded a medical malpractice
action on behalf of plaintiffs against Medalia Health Care LLC and
two Seattle physicians alleging failure to diagnose cancer. The decedent
died of leukemia in Maui, nine days after visiting his doctor in Seattle
and being diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis. Liability aside, the
most prominent issue in the case was the decedent’s “loss
of chance.” The plaintiffs contended that his likelihood of
survival with chemotherapy/bone marrow transplant was 19-20 percent;
the defendants contended it was 6-10 percent. The case settled for
$540,000 and was handled by Jeff Tilden. |
