$2.4M Verdict for Severed Ureter During Surgery

$2.4 million verdict to a 50-year-old woman suffering colon cancer, whose ureter was severed during a colon resection. We argued the surgeon had every opportunity to avoid getting near the ureter and then failed to notice that he severed it before closing the patient. As a result of the malpractice, the plaintiff suffered fecal contamination that led to numerous complications, including a delay in chemotherapy and testimony from an expert that her life expectancy may have been reduced by said delay.
