Significant six-figure recovery

A retired man from Crawford County was taken to a hospital in Meadville with signs of a ruptured aortic aneurysm. An echocardiogram was done that showed the aneurysm, but the doctor who read the echo did not see that. As a result, the aneurysm was not repaired and the gentleman bled to death within 24 hours. If the echocardiogram had been read properly, the aneurysm could have been repaired. After we filed a medical malpractice claim, a significant six-figure recovery was obtained on behalf of this man’s widow.
