Significant six-figure recovery

A middle-aged woman from Uniontown was complaining of an abnormal lump in her breast. Her family physician assured her that it was nothing to be concerned with, and, therefore, a biopsy of the lump was never done. Finally, more than a year later, a biopsy was performed and it was determined that the lump was cancerous. Although the woman survived, the delay in starting treatment could have a significant effect on her future life expectancy. We filed a medical malpractice claim against the family physician and obtained a substantial six-figure recovery on her behalf.
