Spartanburg, SC -- Mr. Myers and Ms. Perkins represented the family of a young husband and father who died when the Veterans Administration failed to provide required follow-up colonoscopies, which would have detected a second primary cancer. The young veteran's cancer was terminal when the testing was finally scheduled. Mr. Myers and Ms. Perkins tried this wrongful death case before a federal judge and obtained an award of $3.006 million that was upheld on appeal. See Hord v. U. S.
