Wolf and Fuhrman help Flores Family get justice in Court for 6.1 Million DollarsnnJuan Flores was a family man a loving father of five kids who took good care of all his children's needs. He underwent a radiofrequency ablation procedure, a now common method for treating an irregular heartbeat condition, called atrial fibrillation. In that procedure tissue in the heart is burned, to create scar tissue, to block the abnormal nerve impulses which cause the irregular heartbeat.nnSixteen days after the procedure was performed Juan returned to Bellevue Hospital. They identified in the emergency department the possibility of a rare life-threatening complication of the ablation procedure and did a test to see if it was present. After admitting him to the hospital and despite ongoing symptoms they did not test specifically for this known life-threatening condition for eight days.nnWhen they finally did perform the indicated test, he was rushed into emergency surgery. Due to the delay in diagnosis, his heart ruptured while on the operating room table. He underwent over twenty further surgeries, had to suffer amputation of his leg above the knee, suffered hellish pain and died over two months after he was first admitted.nnUsing both a radiology expert, who demonstrated how the first test was read improperly, and a cardiothoracic surgeon to identify what tests had to be done to save Mr. Flores, Eliot M Wolf, of Wolf and Fuhrman LLP, was able to obtain a verdict for the Flores family of $6,100,000.nnBellevue had offered five hundred thousand dollars during the case to settle this action.
