FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rubenstein Law is proud to announce that litigating attorney Michael Petruccelli secured a jury verdict of $2,102,108.72 on behalf of a client in a complex medical malpractice case involving the tragic and preventable loss of the client's wife.
The case stemmed from the death of a woman who sought emergency medical care after experiencing symptoms that were caused by an acute pulmonary embolism. Despite presenting signs at the emergency room, the pulmonary embolism went undiagnosed and untreated. She later died while undergoing surgery to remove her gallbladder.
Throughout the litigation, the defendants denied responsibility for their collective failure to diagnose and treat the pulmonary embolism. The matter proceeded to trial in January, resulting in a hung jury. During the second trial in July, Petruccelli successfully presented the evidence to a new jury, securing a verdict in favor of his client in the amount of $2,102,108.72.
"We are grateful to the jury for their careful consideration of the evidence," Petruccelli said. "Their verdict delivered justice for our client and accountability for the failures that led to the tragic loss of his wife."
Medical malpractice cases are among the most challenging areas of personal injury law, often requiring extensive investigation, expert testimony, and a steadfast commitment to uncovering the truth. This verdict reflects Rubenstein Law's continued dedication to advocating for patients and families harmed by preventable medical errors.
