A patient filed a lawsuit against his dermatologist claiming he did not properly diagnose his skin cancer. The medical malpractice case was filed in San Diego. The jury awarded $5.7 Million to the man for damages, pain and suffering and lost wages.
The patient had a series of surgeries to remove the cancer. He is now receiving round the clock care in his home. There is a cap in California for medical malpractice and the award will be reduced to $1.9 Million.
