Award In
Malpractice Suit

San Francisco, Calf. - Sept. 20
On August 10, 1866, the Surplus
Line Adjusting Co., an agent OF
Lloyd's of London, issued checks
in the sum of $4,000 to Porter
Collins as settlement of an action
for malpractice against the Kaiser
Foundation Hospital. This is bell
eyed to be the largest settlement
ever obtained in California in a
case of this type, and certainly
the largest obtained for a Negro
Plaintiff in such an action.
The action arose out of an opera
ton which was performed on Por-
ter Collins on September 18, 1865.
Prior to that time Mr.. Collins was
employed at the Alameda Naval
Air Station as lift truck driver,
and had so been employed for some
ten years. Since 1949, Mr.. Collins
had suffered from swelling on the
right side of his neck, and the
surgery was intended to eliminate
the condition.
