Spokane judge approves settlement over late Dr Cowen dental suits
A Spokane County Superior Court judge signed a settlement of two lawsuits affecting nearly 24 000 former patients of the late Dr David Cowen. The deal lets former patients buy a new set of false teeth from a local clinic for 125 dollars under the life time guarantee controversy tied to Cowen’s Peerless and Sterling dental firms. After Cowen’s death, partner Dr HL H Pitluck declined to honor the guarantee, and the estate faced suits. Judge Shields noted 24 000 notices went out with under two percent in opposition.
