$1 Million Verdict for Mistakenly Treating Patient for Parkinson’s Disease
This case handled by Lawrence Finney resulted in a $1,000,000 verdict against a family doctor who incorrectly diagnosed an elderly woman with Parkinson’s disease and then treated her without referring her for a neurological consultation. In fact, the patient, who was in her 80s by the time of trial, did not have Parkinson’s disease and her underlying essential tremor went untreated for years.
