VERDICT
Trial
08/15/22 – 08/18/22
Summary
In this medical malpractice trial, Jacqueline Dinallo suffered from shortness of breath and a severe cough. She sought treatment from Charles Kayat, who allegedly advised Ms. Dinallo to schedule non-emergency imaging rather than urgent hospital care. Jacqueline's husband, John Dinallo, sues Kayat, asserting that Kayat failed to recommend appropriate treatment that could have prevented her fatal pulmonary embolism. Mr. Dinallo's attorneys argue that Ms. Dinallo's chest X-ray should have warned Kayat that her symptoms were worsening.
Representatives for Charles Kayat assert that Kayat acted appropriately, given Ms. Dinallo's broad symptoms. They claim that Kayat correctly applied a differential diagnosis methodology, but the embolism was too sudden and unpredictable.
