The combined efforts of lead medical malpractice attorney Norman Perlberger, & partner, medical negligence lawyer Eliot H. Lewis have achieved a medical negligence settlement in the amount of $2,500,000 against a New York hospital and interventional cardiologist for injuries suffered by a 36-year old man during a percutaneous stenting (PCI) procedure. The malpractice case was ready for a trial that was to begin in a few months. The plaintiff had a prior history of double bypass surgery, cardiac artery disease and ongoing angina. Plaintiff’s expert, one of the world’s innovators of the stenting procedure, had reviewed this cardiology medical malpractice case and submitted his opinion that the extent of the stenting was not necessary, that it had been performed negligently and that the medical negligence had caused a major heart attack that has compromised our client’s future. While the defendant hospital and doctor disputed this opinion and argued that plaintiff was a very sick man to begin with and that they should not be held responsible for a known consequence of a PCI, the case was successfully mediated and this outstanding cardiology medical malpractice settlement was achieved.
