Court was Wrong to Dismiss Case-Now the Parties Wait Longer for Justice
AppId is over the quota
Posted on Mar 04, 2008
A typical tactic used by Virginia medical malpractice insurance companies to defend claims ateries are mistakenly clamped or sutured or cut in surgery is to say "well, the anatomy was abnormal," and that's why it happened.
The Virgnia Supreme Court recently held that a trial court was wrong in dismissing a case where there was conflicting evidence that there was abnormal anatomy.
Clifford Lewis Fanucci, Sr., died after undergoing hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery for a cancerous growth on his kidney. Daniel Mark Hoffman, M.D. clamped the right renal artery instead of the left renal artery during surgery. When he discovered his error, he unclamped the artery but it tore, killing his patient.
There was conflicting evidence at trial about whether Fanucci's anatomy was unusual. Doctors who came in to repair the torn right renal artery that they found nothing abnormal. The pathologist who did the autopsy said he found nothing unusual about the position of the right renal artery, either.
The only doctors to testify that there was anything 'unusual' about the right renal artery were the defendant and his partner!
The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the trial court and ordered a new trial.
Comment from Virginia Medical Malpractice Attorney Ben Glass: the actions of the trial judge are frightening and demonstrate just how difficult a jurisdiction Virginia is for medical malpractice cases. As I read the opinion, there was basically guess-work on the part of the defendant and his partner as to how or why he managed to clamp the wrong artery. There was no real 'evidence' on this issue. In fact, the only real 'evidence' from two indepedent doctors who actually saw the right renal artery was that the anatomy was normal. To me this case is not even close and there is no way the judge should have stopped the jury from making the decision.
This was enourmously expensive for both parties. Even if the judge felt the case should not have been decided by the jury he should have allowed them to decide it later. Then, he could have reversed the jury's decision, but at least the Supreme Court could have reinstated the jury's verdict.
The judge was wrong.. now the parties wait at least another year, spend another $$75,000 or so to retry the case.

Richmond Circuit Court Richter hat entschieden, dass eine Radiologie-Gruppe, die angeblich Studien jahrelang falsch verklagt werden kann nicht, weil die Verjährungsfrist abgelaufen war.
In diesem Fall reichte gegen, Radiology Associates of Richmond, Inc., der Patient behauptet, dass die Beklagten fahrlässig durchgeführt und verschiedenen Röntgenaufnahmen von Dezember 2002 bis Oktober 2005 interpretiert. Sie behauptete, dass während dieser Zeit sie Symptome mit ein Tumor im trigeminus des Gehirns auf der rechten Seite des ihr Gesicht ausgestellt.
Das Richmond Circuit Gericht wies ein Argument, das die "Dauerbehandlungen-Regel" für diskrete radiologische Untersuchungen gilt. Das Gericht entschied, dass es im wesentlichen keine "Übernahme der laufenden Behandlung".
In diesem Fall wahrscheinlich interpretiert Virginia Gesetz ordnungsgemäß jedoch das Gesetz anachronistisch und überholt ist. Es ist unglaublich, dass in der heutigen Zeit ein Patient unter Berufung auf Jahre nach Jahren der Radiologen Bericht, könnte, dass Gerechtigkeit verweigert werden wenn es stellt sich heraus, dass entlang der Patient die Gelegenheit wurde einen Tumor beherbergen.
Das ist Virginia unerlaubter Handlung Reform auf den Punkt.

The insurance company that guarantees the employer first denied that the driver had the permission to operate of the vehicle. Through their hard work, however, these lawyers discovered that the driver was in fact a policy, a mobile phone, a Visa credit card been issued, and fleet gas cards in the business name and was allowed to know to drive regularly company-owned vehicles at work and at home despite the employer, he was an illegal alien without a valid driver's license.

An another miscarriage of Justice in Virginia medical malpractice claims
In this case Radiology associates of Richmond, Inc., filed against the patient claims, that the defendant negligently performed and interpreted various X-rays from December 2002 to October 2005. She claimed that during this time with a tumor in the trigeminal of brain on the right they symptoms side of her face issued.
The Richmond circuit court rejected an argument that the "continuous treatment rule" applies to discrete radiological examinations. The Court ruled that it is in essence no "takeover of the ongoing treatment".
In this case probably interpreted Virginia law properly but the law is anachronistic and outdated. It is unbelievable that in this day and age, a patient with reference to years could report, after years of radiologists, deny justice be if it is a tumor is out, along the patient was the opportunity.
This is Virginia tort reform to the point.
You can read according to the Court here.
