Amy A. Shwed, a partner in the firm's Scranton office and Chair of the firm's Medical Malpractice Practice Group, recently secured a unanimous defense verdict in a jury trial in Luzerne County alleging failure to diagnose in a medical malpractice case.

Attorney Shwed represented an emergency room physician who was accused of failing to diagnose testicular torsion in a 9 year old boy who lost his left testicle.  She successfully argued that the young boy’s symptoms were the result of an infection, epididmyitis, that was properly diagnosed but unfortunately lead to the testicle loss.  After an almost two week trial, the jury agreed and returned a unanimous defense verdict.
