Physicians Insurance Company to pay med-mal damages
Dale Otto died of cancer in 2003 after two physicians failed to diagnose his condition. In a 4 to 3 decision the Wisconsin Supreme Court ordered the physician insurance company to pay damages. Physicians Insurance Co. of Wisconsin will pay $1 million in medical malpractice damages to the estate of Dale Otto. They provided insurance to the doctors at the clinic that employed them. The clinic denied the medical malpractice claims in court, but in an oversight the Physician’s Insurance never responded to the suit.
