Robert McKenna III and Michael Pittman Obtain a Defense Award in a Prostate Cancer Medical Malpractice Case

Robert McKenna III and Michael Pittman obtained a defense award in arbitration in a case involving allegations of failing to timely diagnose and treat Gleason 9 prostate cancer in a then 64 year old male. The arbitrator found that the care and treatment provided by the respondent urologist complied with the standard of care at all times and that the patient’s outcome would not have been any different had the radical prostatectomy surgery been done at the time claimant’s expert opined that it should have been completed. The arbitrator ruled that any delay in treatment and diagnosis was the responsibility of the claimant. Damages sought exceeded $500,000.00.
