Medical Malpractice
WRSMH attorney, Phil Russotti, obtained a $1 million settlement in a medical malpractice suit. Our client, a man in his early 50's, contended that his internist failed to refer him to a pulmonologist or surgeon after a CT scan of his chest demonstrated a suspicious nodule in the right lung, resulting in a delay in diagnosis of lung cancer and a progression of his disease from State I to Stage III. We were able to convince the Defendants to settle before the scheduled trial date. Our client died of lung cancer shortly after the settlement.
