La Cava & Jacobson, P.A.

Lou La Cava and David Young obtained a dismissal for their emergency medicine physician client

Lou La Cava and David Young obtained a dismissal for their emergency medicine physician client in a medical malpractice wrongful death case in Hillsborough County. The Plaintiff alleged the emergency room physician failed to diagnose and treat influenza in a patient with a compromised immune system during an emergency room visit. The defense contended the physician’s care was appropriate and a decision was made that no money would be offered and the case would be tried. While several co-defendants represented by other attorneys settled out of the case, the ER physician was dismissed without a settlement payment made on his behalf.
