Episode Details:
Million Dollar Advocates Forum member and accomplished Tallahassee, Florida attorney Donald Hinkle of Hinkle & Foran shares how he held the United States government responsible for the negligence of a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs doctor who failed to promptly diagnose Vietnam War veteran Ronald Mathis' Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, resulting in his untimely death. In preparation for his annual exam, Ronald underwent routine blood tests, which revealed a white blood cell count twice the normal level. His doctor at the Veterans Affairs facility admitted that he overlooked Ronald's elevated white blood cell count and failed to promptly refer him to a hematologist for what was then a highly treatable condition. Without treatment, Ronald's condition worsened and developed into Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia. He was released to hospice care, where he died less than three weeks later in May 2018. Trial lawyer Donald Hinkle worked to secure economic and noneconomic damages for Ronald's surviving family members recognized under Florida's Wrongful Death Act, including his wife of 52 years, Grace, and his two grandchildren whom he had adopted and was raising as his own. Ultimately, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court - Northern District of Florida awarded $4,725,961.76 in economic and noneconomic damages to the Mathis family, ruling against the defendant.
