A Philadelphia judge has granted a new trial in a medical malpractice case over an alleged delayed diagnosis of lung cancer after a defense expert testified in violation of the court’s order that the plaintiff was a smoker.

Raynor of Raynor & Associates, her client and the defense expert should be sanctioned or found in contempt of court and that they should pay for $810,304 in attorney fees, costs and expenses incurred for the first trial.
