Widespread Cardiology Malpractice

Theodoros & Rooth – along with attorneys from Cohen & Malad P.C. – secured a $66.5 million settlement for 262 patients who sued Dr. Arvind Gandhi, Cardiology Associates of Northwest Indiana, and the Community Hospital of Munster for unnecessary cardiac surgeries and device implantations. The cases can be traced back to 2014 when the first 20 medical malpractice lawsuits against the defendants began to form. In only two years, the total number of eligible plaintiffs had exceeded 260. Although the defendants were able to deny any wrongdoing as part of the multimillion-dollar settlement agreement, claimants universally argued that the doctors and the hospital had conducted procedures that were not only excessive but also outside of the medical professionals’ qualifications. Due to confidentiality purposes, the full details of this landmark medical malpractice settlement cannot be disclosed.
