Verdict $30,000,000.00

Following an accident, the victim, a 45-year-old woman, sought medical attention at the ER for a seat belt abrasion on her lower abdomen. The medical team’s cursory examination failed to detect severe internal injuries, including a perforated bowel, seven broken ribs, a fractured clavicle, and a fractured back. The oversight proved fatal, culminating in sepsis and an untimely, painful death. Covered in the Daily Report.
