Case Details
Analysis of Record-Breaking New York Medical Malpractice Verdict. A Westchester County jury awarded a $120 million medical malpractice verdict for delayed stroke treatment causing brain damage to a 41-year-old patient. Inexperienced doctors failed to recognize a blood clot, leading to a 3-hour delay in treatment and permanent damage to areas controlling judgment and short-term memory.
Additional Notes
The patient was awarded $9.375 million for past pain and suffering and $41,625 for future pain and suffering, with family compensation for future medical and residential care. Reportedly the largest ever award in a Westchester County medical malpractice case. Hospital plans to appeal.
