Proven verdicts and settlements
In January 2006, Paulett Pettaway Hall, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, went to Springhill Memorial Hospital in Mobile for exploratory surgery. Her records showed risk factors for pulmonary aspiration, but the anesthesia team used a routine induction instead of a rapid sequence induction, and she aspirated bile into her lungs and died of aspiration pneumonitis on January 16, 2006. A Mobile County jury returned a $20 million wrongful death verdict in December 2009, which the trial court remitted to $4 million and her estate accepted. The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the $4 million judgment on September 28, 2012.
