Representative Matters
Avoiding a Nuclear Verdict in South Florida
We represented the hospital in this admitted liability case involving a medication error during the resuscitation of an infant, allegedly resulting in HIE and brain damage. Plaintiff’s life care expert presented a life care plan in excess of $32 million, and Plaintiff’s counsel asked for $72.5 million in closing arguments. The jury ultimately awarded $158,000, which triggered an award for attorneys’ fees pursuant to a previously rejected proposal for settlement.
