Settlement for Common Bile Duct Injury During Laparoscopic Gall Bladder Surgery

Our client, a 33 year-old woman, underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy at a rural hospital in Southwest Virginia. The surgeon negligently misidentified her anatomy and cut and clipped her common bile duct. The patient suffered significant problems and was ultimately admitted to a major medical center where she had to undergo two subsequent surgeries to repair the problem. The case was settled in mediation prior to taking any discovery depositions.

Awarded: $230,000
