Stephen D. Phillips and Charles A. Hornewer
Our client, who was 18 years old, had chest pain and went to the emergency room. She had pain in her arm and told the doctors that she had prior incidents of chest pain. The physicians ordered an exercise stress test. During the test, while she was running on the treadmill, she collapsed suffering a lethal heart attack. We argued that the stress test should not have been performed because of her history of chest pain, pain into her arm, and the results of blood tests. The family was grateful for our efforts in obtaining compensation for the tragic loss of their teenage daughter.
