Fox & Fox represented a 48 year old woman who was referred for a routine screening
mammogram. Her HMO sent her to a cut-rate mammogram center. Her mammogram was
read as "normal", but in fact showed an early stage cancer. Through careful investigation, Fox
& Fox proved that the x-ray technicians, not doctors, interpreted the mammogram in violation
of state law. Fox & Fox won a large settlement on behalf of the victim. This case is currently
being reviewed by the State Medical Board for disciplinary proceedings against the radiologist
who owned the mammogram center.
BIRTH INJURY
During a routine c-section , two
obstetricians at a teaching hospital
cut through the womb and into the
baby's head, causing brain injuries.
Mr. Fox won a 4.55 million dollar jury verdict for this
victim of malpractice.
BREAST CANCER MALPRACTICE
A 32 year old mother of two children felt a lump in her breast and showed it to her family
physician. She was told "it feels like a cyst and is probably nothing". The doctor failed to
further investigate the lump. One year later it was determined that this lump was breast cancer
and had spread to the lymph nodes. Two years later she died from metastatic breast cancer.
Fox & Fox successfully sued the doctor and won a multi-million dollar structured settlement
on behalf of the husband and children.
LEGAL MALPRACTICE
A lawyer representing an elderly couple failed to give them proper legal advice on settlement of
their claim. Attorney James E. Fox sued the negligent lawyer and obtained more than $650,000 for the couple.
