Surgeon Operates on Wrong Level, Case Settled
According to published reports, Charlottesville attorney Lee Livingston has settled a case against an othopedic surgeon who did back surgery, but operated at the wrong level. This, of course, necessitated a brand new surgery. The case reportedly settled for $350,000.
Its amazing that in 2009, doctors are still operating on the wrong part of the body. Isn’t that what they made CT and MRI scans for?
Remember, each case is different. Your case is unique and this settlement that Lee got for his client is not an indication of what you may receive. You should consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney in your area.
