$458,000 Malpractice/Wrongful Death - Bergen County

Settlement for the family of a single 63 year old retired and disabled Bergen County woman, who had died following her surgeon's failure to diagnose and properly treat a post operative infection.

This resulted in failure to properly treat a blood infection leading to her death from sepsis
