Chapman v. Parikh

Summary

In this wrongful death suit, plaintiff Virginia Chapman claims defendant, Dr. Snehal Parikh, was negligent in his care of 15-year-old Hailey Chapman, which ultimately led to her death. Plaintiff claimed that, if Parikh had completed a CT scan, he would have discovered Hailey suffered from intestinal thrombosis before the condition became fatal. Defendant argued that Hailey showed no signs of intestinal thrombosis until immediately prior to her death.

Outcome

Verdict for the Defense.
