Attorneys Martz & Cowhey Obtain Defense Verdict on Behalf of Hospital Client

Attorneys Dan Martz and Carol Cowhey obtained a defense verdict on behalf of a hospital client after a six-day jury trial in the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. The case involved allegations of negligence by an elderly gentleman for a delay in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis, resulting in permanent vision loss. The Plaintiff pursued claims that two primary care providers and an emergency room physician who saw the patient during the course of four weeks missed key symptoms that should have led them to order more diagnostic testing. The jury found in favor of the hospital and its physicians on all claims.
