Settlement of $1.475 Million for Failure To Diagnose Heart Disease

We represented a 55-year-old gentleman who suffered a massive heart attack after his treating physicians failed to diagnose and treat the plaintiff's underlying heart disease. Prior to suffering his heart attack, the plaintiff had notified his treating physicians that he was a Type-II diabetic, that he had a strong family history for heart disease, and that he had previously been treated for high cholesterol and borderline hypertension. When the plaintiff began to experience chest pain, his treating doctors ordered a stress test, which the plaintiff failed. Nevertheless, the plaintiff's physician diagnosed the plaintiff as suffering from gastroesphogeal reflux disease or GERD. When the plaintiff continued to experience chest pain and notified his doctors of such, he was again told he had GERD. Soon therafter, the plaintiff suffered a massive heart attack that has left him severely disabled and with a shortened life expectancy. This case was filed in Virignia, which had a statutory cap that limited the plaintiff's recovery.
