In Bridgeport, Connecticut, a Superior Court awarded more than $16 million to the family of a man who died of a heart attack more than a decade ago.
The jury made the award to the estate and widow of the Stamford, Connecticut man, a truck driver who was working three jobs to support his family and attain early retirement, who died in 1994 of an undiagnosed heart condition. The family accused the Stamford Medical Group of failing to diagnose and treat his cardiac disease.
The lawyer for the estate called the award one of the largest wrongful death verdicts in the state’s history. “It’s a validation of the injustice that was done by the negligent taking of a good man’s life. This was going to be the time to enjoy the fruits of all those hard years working,” the lawyer said.
The attorney for the defendant has denied that there was any medical malpractice, but he would, wouldn’t he?
If someone you know has been cheated of not only their hard work, but also their life by the negligence of a doctor or hospital, you must not sit back and suffer in silence. You need to employ an experienced medical malpractice lawyer who can not only compensate you in some measure for your loss, but also force the negligent parties to admit their fault.
