$625,000 Jury Verdict in Bladder Cancer Case in Pittsburgh-Medical Malpractice

Our client contacted us because he had bladder cancer which he believed had not been diagnosed and treated appropriately by his urologist.  We filed a medical malpractice case against the urologist.  During the case, we discovered that our client had a type of bladder cancer which could have been cured by BCG treatment, had it been diagnosed and treated earlier.  Unfortunately, the urologist did not order the tests and procedures which were available to diagnose bladder cancer at an early stage.  This delay allowed the cancer to spread and caused our client's death.  Prior to trial, the urologist made no offer to settle the case.  The jury reached a verdict of $625,000 for our client.
