Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Suit awarded $8.5 Million in Damages in Lehigh County

We expect our medical staff in our hospitals to take good care of us. We want them to look out after our best interests and make sure we are on the road to recovery. At Solomon, Sherman & Gabay, our injury lawyers want to discuss a medical malpractice story that resulted in a misdiagnosis that led to a man living with cancer much longer than he should have.

What Happened in this Philadelphia Medical Malpractice Story?

Robert Kline visited St. Luke’s Allentown campus due to a pain in his right side. He also had abdomen pain and urinary problems as well. According to the radiologist’s statement in the court documents, a scan indicated kidney stones, but an image was ignored on a scan, according to the radiologist’s statement.

The potential tumor in his bladder went ignored, and Kline was diagnosed with bladder cancer with multiple tumors. If he had been diagnosed earlier, he would not have needed the surgery to have his bladder and prostate removed as well as chemotherapy. A simple ultrasound of the bladder would have revealed the tumors and cancer, allowing for treatment much sooner.
