Six-figure recovery

An elderly man from Erie died of a cardiac arrest barely an hour after being discharged from the hospital following prostate surgery. Before he was discharged, the man’s medical condition was not normal, i.e., he had low blood pressure, dizziness, poor color and was feeling faint. We filed a medical malpractice claim against the doctor who was attending to him in the hospital on the ground that he should have never been discharged because it was clear that his condition was not stable at the time. We obtained a six-figure recovery on behalf of his widow.
