MANHATTAN, N.Y., June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Accidentlawsuitfunding.com, a leading national lawsuit funding firm, announced today a push for a new bill, "Lavern's Law," which would strengthen victims' rights to hold hospitals accountable in court for medical malpractice cases. The bill stems from the medical malpractice case involving Brooklyn woman, Lavern Wilkinson, who died in March of 2013 from a curable form of lung cancer. The doctors had failed to inform her of a suspicious mass that was spotted in x-rays three years prior to her death. According to the NY Daily News, at the time, Wilkinson was unable to sue the hospital due to a loophole in the legal system that required medical malpractice claims to be filed within 15 months after occurrence. The city settled the victim's lawsuit for $625,000 the day she died, however, her family has only just received the funds recently due to a hold up in the court system. With the new bill, "Lavern's Law," victims involved in medical malpractice cases will have more rights to hold hospitals accountable in court.
