Significant six-figure recovery
An elderly man from Pennsylvania went into a Harrisburg Hospital to have his lung removed. The surgery went well. However, after surgery he started to develop pneumonia, but his doctors did not realize that and sent him home without checking on his condition before he was discharged. Unfortunately, the pneumonia progressed while he was at home and he died shortly after discharge. The attorneys at Gismondi & Associates filed a medical malpractice and wrongful death claim against the physician who discharged this gentleman too early, and we received a significant six-figure recovery for his widow.
