Rosalie BOUDOIN, et al. v. NICHOLSON, BAEHR, CALHOUN & LANASA, et al.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

July 30, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Christopher E. Lawler, Kenneth W. Andrieu, Donovan & Lawler, Metairie, for plaintiffs/appellees Rosalie Boudoin, et al.

C. William Bradley, Jr., Richard E. Gruner, Jr., Lemle & Kelleher, L.L.P., New Orleans, for defendant/appellant Albert I. Hendler, M.D.

Before SCHOTT, C.J., and KLEES and MURRAY, JJ.

MURRAY, Judge.

Dr. Albert I. Hendler and the Louisiana Patients' Compensation Fund1 appeal an award of $560,000 to the widow and adult children of Elton A. Boudoin, Sr., based upon a jury's finding that the doctor's improper reading of Mr. Boudoin's x-ray resulted in a loss of chance to survive a chest-wall cancer. We affirm the finding of liability and causation, but amend the judgment to reduce the damages awarded.
