Illinois Malpractice Suit Settled For $5.3 Million
Central DuPage Hospital in Illinois has agreed to a $5.3 million settlement with the husband of a woman who died of a stroke in 2006. The suit claimed to doctors “failed to properly evaluate and treat” the woman in December 2006, which lead to her death. Lawyers for the doctors said the doctors did nothing wrong, but that they settled to “avoid even the small risk of a runaway jury verdict.”
