Confidential Settlement
The Walkup Kaiser negligence group negotiated a settlement for a 56-year-old patient who developed kidney failure and required lifetime dialysis after Permanente group doctors failed to treat what lab results indicated was multiple myeloma. The damage to the patient’s kidneys was irreversible as a result of his delayed diagnosis. Our team proved that if the patient’s PCP made the appropriate diagnosis when it was first suspected, and followed the appropriate treatment protocols, the damage to the patient’s kidneys would have been reversed, and lifelong dialysis would not have been necessary.
