On Monday, April 18, 2011, in a medical malpractice case tried before Judge Burr in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the jury returned a defense verdict on behalf of a radiologist represented by Naulty, Scaricamazza & McDevitt partner Angelo L. Scaricamazza. The case involved allegations that our insured doctor had misread a barium enema, failed to diagnose cancer, and failed to perform a double contrast barium enema. It was also alleged that he had not adhered to the standard of care. The plaintiff died two years after the alleged misdiagnosis.

During the course of the trial, Angelo argued that our insured doctor adhered to the standard of care and that he had not misread the barium enema. Furthermore, he argued that the performance of a double contrast barium enema was contraindicated since performing such a test could have resulted in a rupture of the colon given the plaintiff's diverticulosis. The jury found in favor of the radiologist represented by Angelo L. Scaricamazza, Esq. The case was tried before Judge Burr in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from Monday, April 11, 2011 until Monday, April 18, 2011.
