In an educational webinar for attorneys, G&E principals Lisa Weinstein and Jerry Jowers offered a behind-the-scenes look into their record-breaking brachial plexus verdict. After outlining the details of the case, they shared some of the litigation tactics they used to:
- prove negligence, despite difficult medical causation issues
- develop compelling expert testimony that clarified facts for the jury
- present the devastating consequences and lifelong impact of the injuries
The key strategies discussed serve as practical lessons that lawyers can apply in complex medical malpractice and catastrophic injury cases.
After a five-week trial, G&E birth injury attorneys secured an $18.2 million unanimous jury verdict where a North Carolina hospital and resident physician were found to have acted negligently and were held responsible for causing catastrophic brachial plexus nerve injuriesduring the delivery process.
