Two West Virginia attorneys have secured a $1.5 million verdict in a Florida medical malpractice case.

Dante diTrapano and Tim Houston of Calwell Luce diTrapano from Charleston, W.Va., were part of the legal team that represented Michael Wohl, personal representative of the estate of Tracy Wohl, in Alachua County Circuit Court against North Florida Regional Medical Center, Dr. Eric T. Castaldo, Surgical Group of Gainesville, Dr. Sanjeev Bagga, Doctors Radiology Group of Gainesville, Dr. Haseeb R. Jabbar, Gainesville Nocturnists Associates, Dr. Abha Gupta and Hospital Internal Medicine.

The trial was against Bagga, a radiologist, who failed to report an internal hernia and small bowel ischemia on a CT scan of Tracy Wohl, who ultimately died of bowel necrosis. The attorneys settled with the hospital and the surgeon earlier this year.
