Defense Verdict Secured in Chester County Medical Malpractice Case
Health Care Liability
September 20, 2024
We obtained a defense verdict after a week-long jury trial in the Chester County Court of Common Pleas in a medical malpractice case. The plaintiff alleged she sustained a bowel perforation injury in the course of a robotic-laparoscopic hysterectomy. During the course of the procedure, a general surgeon was called in to evaluate the bowels for injuries. There were no injuries found, so the procedure was completed, and the patient was discharged the following day. Two days later, the patient returned in critically ill condition, and a bowel perforation in the sigmoid colon was identified.
Plaintiff’s claims barred by statute of limitations and immunity provisions of the Pennsylvania Mental Health Procedures Act.
