Indiana Medical Malpractice Verdict
Nick Deets, an attorney with Hovde Dassow and Deets LLC in Carmel, Indiana, obtained a verdict of $875,000 for Stacey Riley in her medical malpractice claim against Dr. Paul Kwo in the Boone Circuit Court on June 27, 2009. The claim arose out of Stacey's post-operative visit with Dr. Kwo on July 1, 2003 where she complained of blurred vision, a twitching lip, a tingling arm, was a smoker on birth control and had a blood pressure reading of 180/100. Stacey claimed that Dr. Kwo should have made a referral to the emergency room or her primary care physician based upon these symptoms. Dr. Kwo did not make a referral and Stacey suffered a massive stroke the next day which permanently affected her speech and right-sided motor skills.
