: Legal Pad | LAJury awards $12M in hospital negligence case
By Richard Binder
A jury in Pomona Superior Court found that Greater El Monte Community Hospital was negligent in treating Jessica Ramirez, a woman left in a vegetative state after waiting hours at the hospital before being sent elsewhere for surgery to remove an air-rifle pellet from her brain in 2007.
Ramirez was conscious and walked herself into the emergency room at Greater El Monte. Her attorney, Dr. Bruce Fagel, said she waited for five hours before being flown by helicopter to a Pasadena hospital where she was rushed into surgery and her current "minimally conscious" state could have been avoided with prompt surgery. Fagel say she now requires 24-hour care.
The jury awarded Ramirez $12 million. Hospital officials said their emergency room staff acted properly in treating Ramirez and plan to appeal the verdict.
