$2.6 Million – Connor Turpan – Medical Malpractice – Delay in Cancer Diagnosis

A jury in Atlantic County returned a $2.6 million verdict to a 42-year-old woman in a medical malpractice claim. The suit included claims that the diagnosis of her breast cancer was delayed by approximately one year due to the negligence of a radiologist in failing to properly interpret and make appropriate recommendations concerning a diagnostic mammogram and also due to the negligence of her gynecology providers. It was alleged that due to the delay in diagnosis, her long-term prognosis worsened, she underwent radiation and other surgeries that she would not have otherwise needed, and she suffered significant emotional distress.
