$1 Million Settlement For Botched Cholecystectomy

We obtained a settlement for a matter involving transection of the hepatic duct during a cholecystectomy. There was a failure to timely diagnose and surgically repair the severed hepatic duct, resulting in a bile peritonitis and several procedures to repair the damaged duct and address long-term complications including hepatic duct strictures. Our client received $1 million.
