Significant seven-figure recovery

A husband and father from Altoona died as a result of a delay in treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm. An aneurysm is an abnormal weakening in the wall of the blood vessel. If the aneurysm grows, it needs to be treated, otherwise it will rupture. This gentleman’s aneurysm was not watched closely enough and, as a result, it went on to rupture and cause his death. He should have been referred for surgery long before the rupture occurred. We obtained a significant seven-figure recovery on behalf of his widow and children as a result of a medical malpractice and wrongful death claim filed against the cardiologist.
