CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT: A FAILURE TO ACT COST A YOUNG MAN HIS TESTICLE

Our firm recently resolved a medical negligence case involving a 17-year-old young man who unnecessarily lost a testicle. In the middle of the night, our client awoke with groin pain and immediately alerted his mother, who rushed him to the emergency department. A resident physician appropriately suspected testicular torsion, a serious condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. An ultrasound was ordered. Unfortunately, what happened next changed our client’s life.

As the resident’s shift was ending, he interpreted an ultrasound image himself rather than waiting for the radiologist’s report. He diagnosed our client with a non-emergent condition and discharged him at 6:45 a.m. Just 10 minutes later, the radiologist issued a report diagnosing testicular torsion—a finding requiring immediate medical attention. But no one acted on the report. The hospital failed to contact our client or instruct him to return for emergency treatment.

Three days later, our client returned to the hospital in excruciating pain. A different emergency physician reviewed the prior radiology report, immediately recognized the missed diagnosis, and sent him directly to surgery. By then, it was too late. His testicle could not be saved.

Our investigation uncovered a critical error: the resident had interpreted the wrong ultrasound image, resulting in the incorrect diagnosis. In his hurry to leave the hospital, he literally looked at the wrong image. The subsequent radiology report identified the true emergency, yet the hospital failed to act. This case involved more than a missed diagnosis: it exposed a breakdown in the process meant to protect patients when critical test results become available after discharge. No 17-year-old should have to endure the loss of a testicle because a medical emergency went unrecognized and a critical report went unaddressed.

Our firm is committed to holding healthcare providers accountable when preventable medical negligence causes devastating harm. If you or someone you love has been harmed by a potential medical error, contact our office.

A record year for Lawyers Fighting Hunger!

The Oklahoma Association for Justice’s annual Thanksgiving fundraiser raised more than $238,000 for Lawyers Fighting Hunger, a new record. With food costs still climbing, that support matters more than ever.

Tulsa raised over $119,000 and Oklahoma City raised over $118,000. Tulsa wins again! But the real winners are Oklahoma families in need, who will now have a Thanksgiving meal to share with the people they love. Together, these funds will provide thousands of meals this holiday season.

Tulsa: Saturday, November 14, at Iron Gate Tulsa. Volunteers, led by Hugh Robert, will pack and distribute thousands of bags of groceries, turkeys, hams, and holiday meal essentials to local families.

Oklahoma City: McIntyre Law P.C. hosts the annual Day of Kindness on Friday, November 20 at Southern Hills Baptist Church, where thousands of Thanksgiving turkeys and food items will be distributed to families.

Mustang: Denton Law Firm will host its annual event on Friday, November 20. Thanksgiving turkeys and food items will be distributed to Mustang and area families.

A huge thank you to Hugh M. Robert and Noble McIntyre, our fellow lawyers with the Oklahoma Association for Justice, and the Oklahoma businesses who made the 2026 Thanksgiving fundraiser such a success. Bradley & Loggin is proud to be part of it.

A cavitary lesion in the lung cannot be called benign from an image. The only way to know is tissue.

We recently resolved this matter with a radiologist and a gastroenterologist in lieu of trial.

Our clients’ father drove a truck most of his life. He liked the work, the miles, and the independence. Four kids, six grandchildren, and still working when this started.

He saw a gastroenterologist for reflux and bloating. Routine workup, including an abdominal CT.

The radiologist saw a two centimeter thick-walled cavitary lesion at the base of the right lung and called it ‘likely related prior infection.’ There was nothing to support that. No comparison imaging, no records, no history of infection. The finding never made the impression, malignancy was never in the differential, and no chest CT was recommended.

The gastroenterologist got that report and told him the scan was unrevealing. Through two years of follow-up visits, admittedly, nobody ever mentioned there was something in his lung.

Twenty-eight months later he came in short of breath with bilateral pulmonary emboli. The lesion was now over five centimeters. Adenocarcinoma of the lung was diagnosed, which had spread to spine and brain. He was now Stage IV and incurable.

At the original scan it was Stage IA, eighty to eighty-five percent five year survival, treatable with surgery alone. Instead he got immunotherapy that slowed nothing, clotting that cost him part of a foot, and a stroke. He died at home five months after diagnosis, in his fifties.

Every physician deposed agreed imaging alone cannot separate infection from cancer here. Two specialists had the finding in front of them. The patient was the only one who never learned it existed.

Findings do not act on themselves. Somebody has to tell the patient.

A bed alarm only works if it's turned on.

We've now resolved three separate cases involving the same hospital system, and the same failure point. A patient is correctly identified as a fall risk. A bed alarm is ordered. A staff member helps that patient back to bed after a bathroom trip or a moment of confusion, and simply doesn't turn the alarm back on. Minutes later, sometimes hours later, the patient gets up again. This time, no alarm sounds, and hospital staff have no way of knowing the patient needs help.

One patient suffered a traumatic brain injury and required emergency brain surgery. One suffered a hip fracture, a wrist fracture, and five broken ribs, injuries that derailed a planned cancer surgery and ultimately contributed to a death weeks later. One suffered a head injury that triggered a medication reaction and a rapid, terrifying decline.

Same hospital system. Same failure, three separate times. And it's worth asking how many more times this happens where, thankfully, no one gets hurt. A safety mechanism that exists on paper but depends entirely on a human being remembering to flip a switch. Hospitals train staff on this. They post placards in patient rooms that literally say "don't forget, reset bed alarm." The protocols exist. What's missing is the follow-through.

This isn't a story about one careless employee. It's a story about a safety system with no backup when a human forgets a step. That's a design problem, not just a training problem, and it's one hospitals need to fix before the next patient falls.

A retired welder and railroad worker, married for 62 years and beloved by three generations of family, survived a serious car accident on July 4, 2024, while returning from the grocery store with items for a backyard BBQ, only to lose his life three weeks later due to preventable medical negligence at the hospital where he was recovering.

What began as a manageable tracheostomy became fatal when caregivers repeatedly, over days, overinflated the tracheostomy cuff beyond safe limits rather than replacing it. When the cuff ultimately failed, an emergency airway exchange was attempted by a second-year resident physician without proper supervision or backup, resulting in a false passage, uncontrolled bleeding, and an airway that could not be re-established. He died that morning with his family at his bedside.

His treating physician's own supervisor later told the family there was "not a darn thing" in his injury pattern that should have prevented him from going home to his "sweet wife." He called the airway exchange a "medical misadventure."

We recently settled this wrongful death case for nearly $1,000,000.00. No amount of money brings back a husband, a father, and a grandfather who should have walked out of that hospital. But accountability matters, and so does making sure this family was not left to bear the consequences of someone else's negligence alone.

A preventable tragedy, and a breakdown at every level of care.

We recently resolved a wrongful death case involving a patient with known asthma and active inhaler use who was prescribed propranolol, a non-selective beta blocker, for migraine prevention, despite clear contraindications and safer alternatives. The prescribing provider was employed by a federally governed healthcare facility under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA).

When the prescription reached the pharmacy, the system generated a high-level drug interaction alert warning the medication could blunt the effect of the patient’s rescue inhaler and trigger bronchospasm. The dispensing pharmacist, also employed by the same FTCA-governed facility, cleared the prescription without documented intervention, prescriber contact, or meaningful counseling. This was the final safety checkpoint before the medication reached the patient.

Within days of beginning the medication, the patient suffered a catastrophic asthma attack. The rescue inhaler failed. Rapid respiratory collapse followed, requiring mechanical ventilation and ECMO. The patient ultimately died from severe hypoxic brain injury.

The matter was ultimately resolved for $1,000,000.00, with the focus remaining where it belongs, on accountability and patient safety.

This case highlights critical failures: prescribing a contraindicated medication in a high-risk patient, failing to reassess worsening respiratory status, and disregarding pharmacy safety alerts, the last line of defense.

When multiple safeguards are bypassed, the consequences are irreversible.

🚧 Construction Zone Collision — 🚧

Our client was driving through a construction zone when a flagger, distracted and inattentive, waved them through—right into the path of a massive Caterpillar earth mover. The machine slammed into the passenger side of our client’s truck. Thankfully, no one was seated on that side, but our client suffered serious injuries, including a torn rotator cuff and ongoing neck and back pain.

As we dug into the case, depositions revealed a pattern of negligence. Not only did the flagger fail to do his job, but the automatic safety gate—meant to control traffic—had a dead battery. Worse yet, the construction company had known about the malfunction for days and chose not to fix it.

This crash was 100% preventable. The company’s disregard for basic safety protocols had devastating consequences.

We fought to hold them accountable—because when companies cut corners, our clients pay the price. 📞 If you or someone you love has been injured due to negligence, contact us today.
