The Legal Intelligencer<\/em>.<\/p>\nPage’s lawsuit alleged that the hospital and its doctors failed to “properly treat her pre-eclampsia between Dec. 9, 2008, and Feb. 27, 2009, [which] caused the eclamptic seizure she suffered on March 2, 2009.,” the story reported. “The seizure forced her to suffer hypovolemic shock, tachycardia and massive hemorrhaging, and required her to undergo an emergency hysterectomy and removal of her fallopian tube and ovaries,” according to her complaint.<\/p>\n
The resulting eclamptic seizure left her, at age 29, unable to conceive children and caused emotional distress, the story reported.<\/p>\n
Her lawsuit against the hospital and doctors who provided her prenatal care alleged “negligence in the diagnosis and treatment of her \u00adpre-eclampsia during her first pregnancy,” the story reported. The settlement came after five years of litigation. Page sought “compensatory damages for her own harm, along with wrongful-death and survival damages on behalf of the twins,” according to the story.<\/p>\n
Page will receive 65 percent of the wrongful death and survival funds, while the biological father of the twins, Charles Dottle, will receive 35 percent of the award, the story reported.<\/p>\n
The case was heard in the Lackawanna Court of Common Pleas.<\/p>\n
These kinds of cases are a somber reminder that patients and their families must be vigilant about the medical care they receive so they know what is being done for a patient\u2019s care every step of the way. But at the same time, patients and families aren\u2019t doctors and they can\u2019t know every question to ask.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where skilled, expert, compassionate and thorough legal representation is needed by patients and their families who have been harmed by medical malpractice and errors or omissions during their treatment. These kinds of cases happen on a regular basis, but they can be fought by legal teams that are prepared to battle for their clients\u2019 rights all along the way to a fair settlement or to a just verdict.<\/p>\n
