Mealey's (October 12, 2020, 7:09 PM EDT) -- NEW YORK — A New York magistrate judge awarded $1.1 million on Oct. 1 to the partner and son of a woman who died from breast cancer, finding that a certified nurse midwife’s failure to conduct a breast exam resulted in a delayed diagnosis and decreased chances of survival. The magistrate judge entered the award after holding the decedent 50 percent liable due to her own negligence (Jimmy Viera v. United States, No. 18-9270, S.D. N.Y, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 183154)....
