| Attorney: Carol L. Forte, Esq. Settlement: $900,000. Spring 2010 Carol Forte represented a 60 year old woman who had a mammogram that was incorrectly read as negative. Thereafter she complained to three different doctors of a lump in her breast, each of whom either was inappropriately reassured by the negative mammogram that there was no need for a biopsy, or who never examined the breast. No biopsy was done, leading to a two year delay in diagnosing her lobular breast cancer. Our client required a mastectomy she otherwise would not have had, and the delay has increased her chance of cancer recurrence. Ms. Forte was able to settle this claim for $900,000. |
