DISCONTINUANCE OF CASE IN FAVOR OF MEDICAL ATTENDING AND EMERGENCY ROOM PHYSICIAN

Lloyd Cohen

In December, 2024, attorney Lloyd Cohen secured a Stipulation of Discontinuance for our clients, a medical attending and an emergency room physician.  It was claimed that our clients misdiagnosed gallbladder disease in the 47 year old female patient, leading to unnecessary surgery and an exacerbation of the patient’s underlying gastrointestinal conditions.  The case, which was pending in Supreme Court, Westchester County, was settled by a co-defendant, but we were able to resolve the case favorably for our clients without any contribution to the settlement.
