$14M Awarded to Sharad over Medical Malpractice
On May 19, 2006, $14 million was awarded to the Sharad family by a Middlesex County Jury on the grounds of their doctors failing to test them for early signs of thalassemia. Thalassemia is a disorder of the blood which disables the body to produce enough hemoglobin. Obstetrician Maya Sanghavi of South Plainfield neglected to test the mother’s fetus after having diagnosed her with anemia. Today, their young boy needs frequent blood transfusions for the rest of his life. His medical expenseshttp://www.richardconsole.com/lawyer-attorney-1115163.html will be covered Sanghavi in the amount of $6M, along with $4M awarded to each parent.
