DEFENSE VERDICT – WRONGFUL DEATH/GENERAL SURGEON

In a wrongful death case against our client, a general surgeon, plaintiffs alleged that our client failed to timely diagnose a complete mechanical small bowel obstruction and failed to timely operate to treat the same.

Wagstaff & Cartmell’s Marc Erickson and Brandon Henry argued that the defendant did not have a complete mechanical small bowel obstruction, but instead suffered from a paralytic ileus, which cannot be treated with surgery.

A Johnson County, Kansas jury found no negligence and awarded our client a defense verdict.

With one of the leading professional liability practices in the Midwest, Wagstaff & Cartmell uses our experience on both sides of the docket, for plaintiffs and defendants, to best represent our clients and provide aggressive litigation when necessary.
