“$66.5 Million Settlement Reached in Medical Malpractice Case Against Northwest Indiana Cardiologist”
In a whistleblower retaliation claim Theodoros & Rooth, P.C. is involved in, a Northwest Indiana surgeon is accused of accepting kickbacks from a spinal surgery device manufacturer from 2012 to 2018. In exchange for dubious royalty, intellectual property and consulting fees, the physician used more than $22.9 million worth of the company’s products on his patients — far more than any other of the manufacturer’s customers. Four former employees of the manufacturer, Life Spine, came forward with the lawsuit in 2018.
