$595,000 Verdict – Medical Malpractice

A verdict was reached in favor of our plaintiff, who for nearly 10 years was treated for chronic mouth sores with biopsy, referrals to ENT specialists and oral surgeons, and prescription medications. Despite her presented symptoms of chronic ulcerations and lesions on her tongue, sores in her mouth and throat, and an ear infection to the defendant physician, it wasn’t until a biopsy was done that the plaintiff learned she had an advanced stage of mouth cancer, requiring several months of extensive radiation and chemotherapy. She suffered dental problems, an irradiated thyroid requiring medication, hair loss, burns to face and mouth, removal of a large portion of the tongue, fibromyalgia, pain, and other injuries as a result.
