Complete Dismissal in Wrongful Death Action
Shaub, Ahmuty, Citrin & Spratt LLP is pleased to share that Thomas Kroczynski obtained a complete dismissal of a wrongful death action.
This case involved allegations that the patient fell at our client’s hospital, struck his head and sustained a subarachnoid hemorrhage from which he expired as a result of not being placed on proper supervision and fall precautions. The plaintiff brought the action under a negligence cause of action.
We were able to convince the Court that despite the plaintiff’s characterization that the cause of action was of negligence, it was a cause of action for medical malpractice. As the lawsuit was not filed within the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice action, the Court granted our motion for dismissal.
Congratulations, Thomas!
