Family Seeks Wrongful Death Suit in Connection to Lung Transplant

By Lenahan Law Firm  Aug. 24, 2012 3:05p

The family of a man that died after he received a lung transplant at a Dallas medical facility recently filed a number of suits involving several parties in connection to the death. R.C. had undergone surgery for a lung transplant about two years ago but died a couple days after the surgery was completed. R.C.'s family is suing the hospital where the surgery was performed, the organ bank where the lung originated from, the company that transported the organ and the company that produced the fluid used to preserve the lung. The suit claims that the pH of the preserving fluid was not correct which led to R.C.'s death once the transplant occurred. The company that makes the preserving fluid is being sued for the sale of fluid with incorrect pH levels and for failing to properly test the fluid as well as failure train its staff to ensure that the fluid's proper pH levels exist. Similarly, the other parties in the suit are being sued for failure to properly preserve the organ, improper transportation and further failure to test the pH of the preserving fluid to ensure it was safe for surgery. R.C.'s family is seeking damages for negligence, gross negligence and wrongful death. Did you lose a loved one due to someone else's negligent action or inaction?
