$600,000 Medical Malpractice verdict / $600,000 veredicto de negligencia médica

On April 25 a St. Clair County jury returned a verdict for our client.  We asked for $550,000.00; a number we thought was very fair.  The jury was generous and awarded $600,000.00.  Our trial team proved that the doctor did not get Informed Consent from the plaintiff before he performed surgery.  We proved that he knew she was at a much higher risk of a bad outcome than the general patient and that he did not inform her of the higher risk before she agreed to the surgery.  In fact, we got him to agree that the plaintiff was the “highest risk” patient he ever had…even though he said she was a “good candidate” for surgery in his records.  Obviously, the outcome of the surgery was terrible.

Congratulations to our client.  The success is owed to an incredibly talented trial team and an absolutely wonderful client.
