Proven verdicts and settlements

$14.49 millionVerdict

A Kenosha County jury awarded Joseph Barsuli $14.49 million after a radiologist employed by Virtual Radiologic Corporation read his cervical spine CT as normal. A second radiologist found a cervical epidural abscess on the same film the next day, and by then the damage to Barsuli's spinal cord could not be undone.
