: The Personal Injury Lawyer DirectoryRecord $22-million Verdict in Chicago Malpractice Case
A Cook County jury has awarded the largest ever medical malpractice verdict for the wrongful death of a woman to the family of a 34-year-old woman who died in 2003 from complications at a Chicago-area hospital, St. Francis Hospital in Evanston. The jury awarded $22 million dollars in support of the claim by the woman's family the woman suffered a massive brain hemorrhage as a result of the staff's negligence in improperly treating her high blood pressure during labor. The woman was placed on a ventilator and died four days later. The baby was delivered by Caesarean section and survived, fortunately without birth injury.
According to arguments by their attorney, the condition could have been controlled with proper medication, and the failure resulted from hospital personnel's failure to follow their own procedures. The finding was against the hospital and the doctor. The hospital, refusing to acknowledge responsibility, said it would pursue an appeal.
