Defense Verdict for Hospitalist in Floyd County Superior Court

Heather Miller and Colleen Callaghan recently obtained a defense verdict for their Hospitalist client after a one week trial in Floyd County Superior Court. 
 

Plaintiff alleged that the physician failed to recognize signs of an internal bleed associated with the administration of Heparin, leading to a retroperitoneal hematoma and paralysis.  Heather and Colleen presented evidence that the bleed was a known risk, which was properly recognized and treated in accordance with the standard of care.
