Lawyer Sues Wrong Doctor - VA Supreme Court Upholds Reprimand
"Bob Vaughan" was the one attorney Michael Weatherbee meant to sue in a Warren county medical malpractice case, but he ended up suing Dr. Ward Vaughan. Big mistake.Weatherbee's suit against Dr. Ward Vaughan was dismissed as "frivolous" and Weatherbee got a public reprimand from the VA State Bar.
Not sure how you get "Bob" and "Ward" mixed up but it just goes to show why you need an experienced medical malpractice attorney to handle your case.
Here's the VA State Bar's reprimand of Michael Weatherbee. It explains in depth how he violated the standard of care for handling medical malpractice cases.
Weatherbee appealed the reprimand to the SCoVA but they upheld the reprimand. Good for them.

Testimonials
- Congratulations on having been selected by your peers for inclusion in the 2011 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®
- This is our first experience meeting with a lawyer. Surprisingly, our meeting with Ben went so well. It was very informative and educational.
- We were deeply touched by your kindness.
- I contacted Attorney Ben Glass's office and franticly spoke to his assistant Terry. We had a little more than two weeks to challenge my LTD provider's threat to offset my LTD disability payments by the amount of a recent settlement I had received on a Worker's Compensation claim - the claim was settled outside of the Worker's Compensation system.
- I want to thank you and your staff for all your hard work in 2009. I greatly appreciate your efforts on my wife's disability appeal. Your staff worked hard, is very talented and your ethical approach was readily apparent.
