Blindness Caused by Detached Retina - Failure to Diagnose
An elderly woman was experiencing a loss of vision in one eye. The vision was slowly declining on one side of the eye, becoming a black area in her field of vision.

The patient lost vision in the eye shortly thereafter, permanent blindness from retinal detachment. (Confidential Settlement).
$193,000 Settlement Breast Cancer/Failure to Diagnose

At her annual physical with an internal medicine physician, the doctor ordered a biopsy. The young woman was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo a mastectomy.

Your Questions, Answered
  • Why might a will be contested?
    A will might be contested if there are concerns about undue influence, lack of testamentary capacity, fraud, or improper execution. Beneficiaries may also contest provisions they find unfair or unclear.
  • Who can contest a will?
    Usually, people with legal standing to contest a will include beneficiaries, heirs, or individuals who would have inherited under previous versions of the will or under intestacy laws.
  • How long does will litigation usually take?
    The duration of will litigation varies depending on the complexity of the case, court schedules, and the parties' willingness to reach a settlement. Some cases resolve in months, while others might take years.
  • Can a no-contest clause prevent litigation?
    A no-contest clause aims to dissuade beneficiaries from challenging a will by threatening forfeiture of their inheritance. However, such clauses may not be enforceable if a contesting party has probable cause.
