Significant six-figure recovery
A 53-year-old nurse from Johnstown, Cambria County, experienced a three-year delay in diagnosing her breast cancer. A claim was filed against the radiologist who misread her mammogram and the surgeon who did not properly treat a lump in her breast. Although the woman is still alive today, the delay in diagnosing her breast cancer may cause her to have a reduced life expectancy. A large six-figure award was obtained for her.
