Case Details

Bryanna Baker suffered severe heart damage after her heart attack went undiagnosed for more than a day in 2006. A San Miguel County jury found three physicians negligent in their handling of Bryanna Baker’s medical treatment.

Additional Notes

The eight-woman, four-man jury set compensatory damages at $9 million. The law caps the amount that Baker can collect from each of the physicians at $600,000, meaning that she’ll only be able to collect $1.8 million. Baker will also get all her future medical bills paid from a patient compensation fund. McGinn estimated that those future medical costs would amount to $5 million. Miners’ Colfax Medical Center, Alta Vista hospital, and the University of New Mexico settled out of court.
