Jose Vigo v. New York Hospital and Richard Fraser: A 49-year-old man underwent neurosurgery for the removal of a benign temporal lobe tumor. He suffered a stroke during surgery due to the obstruction of the anterior choroidal artery, leading to extensive brain damage and paralysis of the left arm and leg. The jury found that Dr. Fraser deviated from accepted practice by injuring the artery, resulting in the $15 million verdict.
