An east-central Georgia family was awarded a wrongful-death settlement from the Department of Veterans Affairs last week after VA hospitals in Augusta, Dublin and Atlanta failed to treat and diagnose a disabled Army veteran for gallbladder cancer, according to the judgment released Tuesday.
The estate of Jimmy Lee Stapleton, 68, will receive more than $100,000 in damages after he died June 2 at his home in Emanuel County from more than two years of negligent care in the three VA hospitals, said family attorney Chuck Pardue, who practices law in Martinez.
