February 25th, 2008 | Medical Malpractice, Settlements

The Law Offices of Snyder Weltchek & Snyder obtained a $1.05 million verdict in a medical malpractice case. Two emergency room doctors at Union Memorial Hospital failed to diagnose a blood clot in the lungs of Christian. Christian had surgery on his bowel days before pain sent him back to the emergency room. The doctors told him it was pneumonia when he visited the emergency room. Christian died two weeks later. The lawyers of Snyder Weltchek & Snyder believed that the doctor’s negligence was the cause of the death and autopsy reports showed Christian had a blood clot that should have been diagnosed by the doctors, because blood clots are a common condition after surgery. After two weeks of testimony, a Baltimore Circuit Court jury ruled that the doctor’s committed medical malpractice that led to death and must pay $1,050,000 in damages to the Christian’s Family.
