Proven verdicts and settlements
Part of a surgical retractor was left in Cynthia Yebuah's abdomen during a 2005 kidney removal and stayed there for eight years, looping around her small bowel. A Nashville jury awarded her family $4.5 million. Tennessee's cap on noneconomic damages cut it to $750,000, and the Supreme Court held that the cap is one limit shared by an injured patient and her spouse rather than one each.
