The family of the 81-year-old who died in the Treviso hospital refused Generali’s offer. Now the court hearing for the civil case will be set

TREVISO. Allergic to the drug that killed him, the family refuses to accept the insurance company’s offer. The family of Lorindo Maschera, an 81-year-old Treviso native of Pianiga, in the province of Venice, who died the summer of 3 years ago at the San Camillo hospital in viale Vittorio Veneto, wants to go all the way, as he keeps repeating, because “the pain he has not disappeared ».

His case will end in court, after the experts established that the elderly man died on August 2 “from a very serious allergic reaction with immediate anaphylactic shock and cardiac arrest following exposure to an antibiotic that the patient had notified. ‘allergy”.

The man was hospitalized at San Camillo for a check-up, as he had done before. The son, Giorgio, explained in great detail that his allergy to amoxicillin was known: “He had the tag, there were the cards, every precaution had been taken”. His health was good. And he was far from accusing pathologies. Yet to treat an infection that had arisen a week later and had given him a fever, he was given the antibiotic to which he was allergic.

The family has not agreed on the quantification of the damage, and has decided that it will proceed with the civil case, as soon as the hearing is set. It also announces a complaint to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for false declarations, that is, for the more delicate question of the autopsy. The preventive technical assessment was requested through the Northeast Risarcimenti Firm of San Donà di Piave. The possibility of reaching an out-of-court settlement with the San Camillo has vanished, therefore the civil suit against the hospital will be initiated. The lawyer Matteo Cibinetto explains.

“The insurance company, namely Generali, made an offer, crediting the money.” 85 thousand euros for the two sons of the man. But the family, through the lawyer, asks for double, plus compensation for the grandchildren and the expenses for the funeral, reaching a figure just under 500 thousand euros. What was offered was defined by the family members through the lawyer, “a down payment”. The first hearing of the civil case “for medical responsibilities” is now awaited.

The health facility, in mid-February, did not deny what happened, replying through the mouth of the administrative director Sr. Lancy Ezhupara: “There is a precise accusation, but we cannot judge a medical act, there is a judicial body that will do it and a competent authority, together with the appropriate legal offices of both parties. Justice will run its course, with its times. “
