Jury verdict against Rush-Copley Medical Center for a 35-year-old man who lost an arm due to a severe untreated flesh-eating infection (necrotizing fasciitis) after being misdiagnosed with cellulitis in the emergency room.
Additional Notes
The defendants made no offer to settle the case before trial. The jury awarded $8.9 million, which with prejudgment interest totaled just over $10 million. Patient Derek Windsor, then 34, went to Rush Copley Medical Center on Nov. 15, 2016. CT scan allegedly showed gas under the skin, but was interpreted as cellulitis. Infection moved up his arm, leading to amputation. Case: Windsor v. Rush-Copley Medical Center, et al., 2018 L 012222.
