Widow and Three Children win Substantial Settlement |
Personal Injury Attorneys Howard Krepack and Gary Stern recently obtained a substantial settlement for a widow and
three young children, who were left without their sole provider after their 44-year old father sought medical care for what he believed to be a small stroke. He informed his doctor of a personal history of shortness of breath and tightness in his chest, as well as a family history of hypertension and stroke. The doctor provided no treatment other than aspirin and water pills. As the symptoms persisted and progressed in following months, the doctor ordered two separate chest x-rays, ignoring the results on both even though they suggested additional evaluation and follow up. Documentation from the patient’s final visit included symptoms such as pain in his calf and coughing up blood, but he was only instructed to continue taking aspirin. Three days later, the patient collapsed from a stroke ultimately resulting in his death.
Result: Substantial Six-Figure Settlement
