Case Details
Defendant perforated plaintiff’s small intestine while performing an endoscopy, requiring surgery to repair. Plaintiff suffered permanent scar, increased risk of hernias, bacterial overgrowth, and bowel obstructions.
Additional Notes
Defendant filed a motion to set aside the jury’s verdict as excessive. Appellate court found past pain and suffering damages reasonable, but future pain and suffering damages deviated from reasonable compensation, directing a new trial unless plaintiff stipulated to a reduced verdict.
