Dr. Spyros Panos had been working as an orthopedist at the Mid Hudson Medical Group until he began serving a federal prison sentence in March 2017. His prison time was for healthcare fraud, and he was then still the target of hundreds of\u00a0civil <a href=\"https:\/\/gilhoylaw.com\/boston-massachusetts-medical-malpractice-lawyers-attorneys.php\">medical malpractice<\/a> lawsuits. <strong>The two sides eventually reached an agreement which will allow for a maximum payout to all of the plaintiffs totaling $40 million. <\/strong>Attorney Christopher Blake Meagher of the\u00a0Meagher &amp;\u00a0Meagher, P.C. \u00a0law firm in White Plains, New York represented many of the plaintifffs.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mgyIoDq0TDc\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Back in November, 2013, Dr. Panos pleaded guilty to one count of felony health care fraud and admitted to being the primary individual involved in a multi-million dollar scheme responsible for defrauding health insurance providers. The medical malpractice lawsuits are separate from the disgraced doctor&#8217;s fraud scheme. Among other civil claims, Dr. Panos has been accused of\u00a0botched surgeries or doing unnecessary surgeries. However, as part of the settlement, Dr. Panos will not admit any wrongdoing. <strong>Each victim receiving a payout will be part of a point system to determine how much they will be receiving. Points are worth $2,500 each, and while they are a large factor in determining individual settlement amounts, they are but one criterion used to determine each plaintiff\u2019s payout.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you or a loved one of yours suffered injuries or died due to the negligent actions of a medical professional?<strong> If so, please do not hesitate to contact the Law Offices of Gilbert R.
