The medical malpractice lawsuit filed in Middlesex Superior Court names doctors at St. Peter's University and Robert Wood Johnson University hospitals
NEW BRUNSWICK -- A city man is suing his doctors at two local hospitals over a lost toe following a skiing incident.
The medical malpractice lawsuit filed in Middlesex Superior Court claims that Marc Daniels' podiatrist and other doctors at St. Peter's University and Robert Wood Johnson University hospitals were negligent in treating his injury, leading to the loss of his toe.
The lawsuit doesn't indicate where or how the initial ski incident occurred.
Daniels was admitted to St. Peters in February 2015, but claims officials failed to refer the man to medical personnel with proper ski training after visiting the emergency room more than once, according to the suit.
The suit, filed on Feb. 3, claims the doctors failed to provide appropriate care by linking his pre-existing condition with his blood circulation and neurological status, which eventually led to the loss of his toe.
Daniels' suit seeks relief and damages. The suit names the doctors anonymously and the two New Brunswick-based hospitals.
Daniels' attorney as well as hospital representatives did not respond for comment.
