In Patient v. Dermatology Group (Confidential venue), Sara M. Peters secured a confidential multi-million-dollar settlement for a 26-year-old mother whose Stage IV melanoma diagnosis went undetected. Despite a family history, her physicians dismissed a mole as cosmetic and failed to document it in 2022, allowing the cancer to metastasize. The client was diagnosed after becoming pregnant, requiring delivery of her infant child at 26 weeks to facilitate immunotherapy. Our team overcame significant causation challenges by securing expert pathology review and navigated complex lien and subrogation issues. Resolution of both cases included a structured annuity for the infant’s long-term care.
