Seven years after an Obstetrics mishandling, a
Jermyn, Pennsylvania family sued and won its case against the Community Medical Center and the OB-GYN doctor. This past November, a
Lackawanna County jury awarded the family $20.5 Million, with eight Million paid by the OB-GYN doctor and the rest to be paid by the hospital. The case underscores the importance of retaining detailed medical records for oneself and loved ones, and staying on top of one's medical care. Hospitals utilize doctors. Doctors are human, and humans make mistakes. Doctors know it and so do insurance companies. Patients must know it too. Always look out for professional negligence,
medical malpractice, and undue complications during birth and other procedures. In June, we wrote about a New York hospital that failed to properly treat an
epileptic seizure. That resulted in a $1.5 Million settlement. To repeat, mistakes and
personal injuries can happen any time! Exercise your rights for compensation by contacting a top personal injury lawyer.
