Svendsen v. United States
Practice Area: Medical malpractice
Date: Jul 18, 2016
Outcome: $250,000
Description: Client’s mother died of cervical cancer due to the failure of her doctors at a federally funded clinic to perform appropriate and timely Pap smears over a 7 year period. The U.S. denied negligence, and denied that the cancer was cervical in nature, and therefore would not have been detected even if testing had been done.
