$1.3 Million Settlement
Joann C., a nurse by practice, suffered what would have been an avoidable ruptured bowel after medical professionals failed to diagnose her condition.
Even nurses, as patients, aren’t impervious to medical malpractice.
She checked herself into a northeastern Pennsylvania hospital with ongoing pain complaints.
The hospital staff failed to diagnose her obstructed bowel, and it ruptured, causing extended suffering and recovery time—something that could have been avoided had the obstruction been removed in time.
Joann came to us to file a claim against the hospital for medical malpractice.
We were able to secure several experts who established that the medical staff failed to intervene in a timely manner.
Despite their medical training and expertise, they did not diagnose the cause of her pain or perform her surgery quickly enough to avoid the perforated bowel.
They spent time her body didn’t have.
Joann received a $1.3 million settlement for her extended suffering and avoidable additional medical care and recovery.
If you or someone you know has suffered needless injury because of a medical professional’s misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose a serious medical condition, it’s time to take a stand.
