built 442 days ago
PETOSKEY — A fatal mistake in a gastric bypass surgery resulted in a $1 million medical malpractice verdict in Emmet Circuit Court. Grayling resident Karin Lobaina, whose husband died following surgery at Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey about four years ago, won the sizeable verdict last week, though a last-minute settlement will reduce the true amount she receives, her attorney said. Petoskey physician Bruce Deckinga offered to settle about 15 minutes before jurors returned a verdict Wednesday, said Southfield attorney Robert Sickels. Sickels declined to divulge the settlement, but said it was for the maximum limit of Deckinga’s insurance policy, which he described as “quite modest.”
