Wrongful Death - Medical Negligence

Mr. Guajardo represented the wife and children of an elderly man who died from a pulmonary embolism. The day before his death, the patient went to see his doctor, complaining of pain and swelling in his leg. Despite knowing that the patient had a previous blood clot in his leg years ago, the doctor never looked at the patient's leg. He ordered a test to be done the next morning. The following day, the patient went to see the doctor again, and while waiting to see the doctor, he collapsed and died in the waiting room. It later was determined that a blood clot had broken loose in his leg and traveled into his lungs, which prevented him from being able to breathe. The case was tried to a jury in Fort Worth, Texas. The jury found the doctor was negligent and awarded the family $5.25 million. The judgment was subsequently reduced due to statutory damage caps, and the case was settled for a confidential amount.
