Significant six-figure recovery

A 68-year-old man died as a result of an abnormal heart rhythm that showed up on the recovery after he had surgery on his carotid artery. Unfortunately, no one noticed the abnormal rhythm. If it had been discovered, this patient could have had a pacemaker placed to prevent the fatal events of the following day. We filed a wrongful death and medical malpractice claim against the hospital and the doctors involved in this gentleman’s care and received a significant six-figure recovery on behalf of his widow.
