Very significant six-figure recovery
A wife and mother from Beaver County died in the hospital as a result of a condition called toxic megacolon, a severe inflammation of the colon. A wrongful death claim and medical malpractice claim was filed against her doctor who did not take her to surgery soon enough to treat the toxic megacolon before it ruptured. Unfortunately, she died as a result of that delay. A very significant six-figure recovery was obtained on behalf of this woman’s husband.
