The family of a woman who died of cancer after a doctor allegedly failed to diagnose a tumor has agreed to a $1 million settlement in their Essex County wrongful death suit, Estate of Turkmen v. Richmond. The settlement, a portion of which benefited the decedent’s minor child, was approved by the court on Feb. 22, according to electronic court documents.

April Turkmen went to the emergency room at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston on Jan. 16, 2018, when she was experiencing abdominal pain. Interpreting a CT scan, radiologist John Richmond saw “no acute findings” and released Turkmen from the emergency room, according to the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Gregg Alan Stone of Kirsch, Gelband & Stone in Newark.
