Partner D. Gary Lovell, Jr. and Associate Lee Weatherly obtained a defense verdict for a cardiologist group in a medical malpractice wrongful death case filed in York County, South Carolina. In the week-long trial, the deceased’s estate claimed that the Defendant’s employee doctor failed to properly treat the deceased for her heart attack when he was summoned by the emergency room doctor. However, the jury determined that the employee doctor met the standard of care and returned a verdict in favor of the cardiologist group after deliberating for only an hour and a half.
