Proven verdicts and settlements
A Cook County jury awarded $45.3 million to Steven Butts, a 30-year-old Army veteran who suffered permanent brain damage after an Advocate Trinity Hospital ER doctor paralyzed him for intubation, placed the breathing tube in his esophagus, and left him without oxygen for about 11 minutes; the verdict and roughly $2.8 million in prejudgment interest were affirmed on appeal in 2024.
