$1.25 Million Settlement For Wrongful Death From Acute Pancreatitis

We represented the wife and three children of a 40-year-old man who died from complications of untreated acute pancreatitis arising from undiagnosed Cushings Syndrome. Of note, the insurance company for the defendant doctor refused to make a settlement offer until the trial began. During the trial, the insurance company made its first settlement offer and continued to increase its offer throughout the trial until the $1.25 settlement figure was agreed to just before closing arguments began. The case was filed in Virginia and was subject to the $1.5 million statutory cap on damages applicable at the time.

Awarded: $1,250,000.00
