Proven VerdictsAbout Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci
Johnson, Vorhees and Martucci is a personal injury law firm with offices in Joplin and Springfield, Missouri, founded in January 2002 by Roger Alan Johnson and Scott J. Vorhees. The firm handles medical malpractice, wrongful death, trucking and vehicle collisions, brain and spinal cord injuries, nursing home negligence, and product liability cases across the four-state region. The firm has recovered over $500 million for clients and secured one of Missouri's largest medical malpractice verdicts, a $34.1 million jury award in Kendrick v. CoxHealth in 2021.
Proven verdicts and settlements won by Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci
A Greene County jury awarded $34,107,628 to a boy who suffered permanent brain damage during his 2014 birth at Cox South hospital in Springfield, where escalating doses of the labor drug Pitocin deprived him of oxygen. It was the largest medical malpractice verdict in Missouri in 2021, and because the injury predated the state's 2015 damages cap statute, the noneconomic award stood without reduction.
