$6.5 Million Settlement-Wrongful Death, Failure to Diagnose Cancer (2020)

Medical Malpractice

Conal Doyle obtained a $6.5 million recovery in a medical malpractice case involving the failure to timely diagnose and treat cancer. A hospital failed to inform its patient that pathology reports showed malignant melanoma, delaying the diagnosis for almost two years. By the time of the diagnosis, the cancer had become metastatic and uncurable. The patient passed away at age 45, and his family brought an action for wrongful death. The case was litigated for five years, before settling in 2020.
