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 physician, not an opthamologist, examined her
eye and advised her it was nothing to worry about and that she should
consider making an appointment with an opthamologist in the future. The
patient lost vision in the eye shortly thereafter, permanent blindness
from retinal detachment. (Confidential Settlement).
$193,000 SettlementBreast Cancer/Failure to Diagnose
A young woman felt a small lump in her breast and brought it to the attention
of her OBGYN. The OB-GYN advised that it was nothing to be concerned about
and probably was just a simple cyst. The patient returned about once a
month complaining of the same area and her symptoms were increasing and
the OB GYN basically was ignoring her symptoms. 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.

A trustee can be an individual, such as a family member or friend, or a corporation, such as a bank or trust company. It's essential that the trustee is trustworthy and capable of managing the trust's assets.
What happens if the trustee fails in their duties?
If a trustee fails in their duties, they can be held legally accountable. Beneficiaries may seek to have the trustee removed and replaced, and the trustee might be required to compensate for any losses incurred.
How are trust disputes resolved?
Trust disputes can often be resolved through mediation or arbitration. If these methods fail, the parties involved might take the matter to court for a legal resolution. Legal advice is beneficial in these cases.
What are the trustee's main responsibilities?
The trustee is responsible for managing the trust's assets, ensuring proper record-keeping, filing necessary tax returns, and distributing assets to beneficiaries as outlined in the trust document.
