The trial: Moradov v. Atlanta Radiology Consultants P.C. 

 

The attorney: Daniel Huff

 

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. 

 

Synopsis: Huff highlights testimony from Dr. Carl Capeluoto, a Georgia urologist, who concluded Hill's treatment decisions were appropriate given the nature of the lobulations in Moradov's kidneys. 

 

The verdict: For the defense.
