Very significant recovery in excess of $1 million

A husband and father from Altoona suffered a fatal heart attack because his doctor failed to discover that he was suffering from coronary artery disease. This man had undergone thallium stress testing several weeks before his death, but those tests were incorrectly interpreted as normal. In truth, the tests were abnormal, and the man should have been sent for placement of a cardiac stent or bypass surgery. If that had been done, he would have avoided the fatal heart attack. We obtained a very significant recovery in excess of $1 million on behalf of this man’s widow.
