WRONGFUL DEATH JURY VERDICT UPHELD

Washington, D.C. injury lawyer Marc Fiedler, the appellate specialist at Koonz McKenney Johnson & DePaolis LLP, recently won an important victory in a medical malpractice case. On February 15, 2008, the D.C. Court of Appeals upheld the wrongful death jury verdict of over $750,000 in favor of the wife and son of a forty-six-year-old Metrobus operator who had died as a result of a blood clot in his heart, which probably would have been prevented if his doctor had prescribed blood-thinning drugs.
