Courtroom Success: Tamela J. White

On March 13, 2009, member Tamela J. White of Farrell, Farrell & Farrell and associate Marvin “Chip” Capehart, II defended a general surgeon in a medical malpractice case in the Circuit Court of Logan County, West Virginia. The case involved an alleged failure to timely diagnose and treat a ruptured appendix, which failure, in turn, led to the formation of a clot of the femoral artery. Following a one week trial, the jury returned a defense verdict in favor of the surgeon.
