A jury in a medical malpractice case, Leone v. Bauman, on Sept. 18 awarded $2.1 million to a man whose face was disfigured after his dentist failed to diagnose a cancerous tumor in his jaw, though the plaintiff’s recovery was reduced to $1.53 million.
Plaintiff Anthony Leone, a dental patient, charged that Dr. Lawrence Bauman, his longtime dentist, failed to diagnose oral squamous cell carcinoma, resulting in extensive surgery to his face to remove the lesion. The malpractice occurred at a visit in May 2014, according to Leone’s attorney, Jack Wurgaft of Javerbaum Wurgaft Hicks Kahn Wikstrom & Sinins in Springfield.
