Kankakee, IL (PRWEB) January 18, 2011

The Kankakee medical malpractice attorneys of Spiros Law, P.C., announced that the firm has reached the largest medical malpractice settlement ever recorded in Iroquois County, Illinois*. In this case, the plaintiff was awarded $1 million.

The plaintiff, a 61-year-old female, visited her primary care physician in April 2008 with pneumonia-like symptoms. However, her physician failed to inform her of the presence of a mass that appeared on her chest x-ray, nor did the physician call for any follow-up testing. Due to this act of negligence, the patient’s lung cancer was not identified until it had progressed to Stage IV lung cancer, approximately 22 months after her initial visit, according to attorney James D. Spiros of Spiros Law, P.C.
