Content:
A surgeon's failure to properly monitor and treat post-operative complications resulted in serious and preventable harm to a patient. Medical standards of care require surgeons and their teams to remain vigilant for signs of complications following a procedure and to take prompt, appropriate corrective action when those signs appear.
In this case, the surgeon's inaction in the face of developing complications fell well below the accepted standard of care. The delay in intervention allowed the complications to progress to a point that caused significant additional injury to the patient.
Lowe Trial Lawyers presented expert medical testimony establishing both the deviation from the standard of care and the direct causal link between the surgeon's failure to act and the patient's worsened condition. The jury returned a verdict of $1.2 million in favor of the patient.
