Drunk driving is a very serious offense and, even worse, can end in death or serious injury. The State of Wisconsin has, unfortunately, seen its share of drunk drivers and collisions caused by those drivers.

In 2001, there were 234,826 drivers in Wisconsin who had one OWI on their records. On top of that, there were  58,931 repeat offenders. Numbers like these are what led to so many deaths and injuries involving drunk drivers.

Jury Awards $2.5 Million in Missed Cancer Diagnosis Case

Posted on Wednesday, February 4th, 2009 at 7:21 am    

A Nevada jury has awarded a record $2.5 million to the family of a woman who died of cancer, following a missed diagnosis by her doctor.

Elisa Sanchez was only 24 years-old when she first went to her doctor with symptoms of rectal bleeding and blood in her stools.  Sanchez made several visits to Dr. Steven Lampinen over the course of 7 months, but was diagnosed only with hemorrhoids.

After being taken to the University Medical Center in Las Vegas, it was then determined that Sanchez in fact had aggressive colon and rectal cancer.  As a result of the cancer, Sanchez died in 2007 at the age of 27.

Sanchez's family sued the doctor and his nurse for missing the diagnosis of cancer after repeated examinations. The suit claimed medical neglience on the part of the doctor, leading to the wrongful death of Sanchez.

The $2.5 million malpractice verdict is believed to be among the largest in Nevada history.

If you or someone you know has been the victim of medical negligence, contact the Lake Geneva medical malpractice lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® at 262-248-5200.
