The trial: Moradov v. Atlanta Radiology Consultants P.C.
The attorney: Michael Frankson
Case summary: Plaintiffs claim Shlomo Moradov died from kidney cancer because of negligence from a urologist and radiologist who failed to follow up on suspicious lobulations in Moradov's kidneys years earlier when they treated him for kidney stones. The defense contends that the urologist, Dr. Brian Hill, and the radiologist, Dr. Timothy Bottoms, acted within the standard of care, given the nature of the lobulations.
The witness; Dr. Carl Capeluoto, a Georgia urologist.
Synopsis: Frankson has Capeluoto walk jurors through Moradov's treatment, including the analysis of the lobulations. Capeluoto determines that Hill acted reasonably under the circumstances in deciding not to perform follow-up tests.
The verdict: For the defense.
