On November 11, 2024, the decedent was at a local area hospital to have a cardiac ablation performed for atrial fibrillation. During the procedure, the patient/decedent suffered from an air embolism, which ultimately caused his death. Plaintiff claimed that both the physician and hospital staff were negligent by failing to properly monitor the saline flush bag (which ran dry during the procedure) and failing to properly switch the saline flush bag during the procedure when it ran dry. The cause of death was an air embolism. The plaintiff is survived by his adult son and daughter.
Bradley Z. Schulman represented the plaintiff and his children.
