Proven verdicts and settlements
A Washington, D.C. jury awarded $3.05 million against a pediatrician who failed to send a feverish child for emergency care before an invasive Group A strep infection and toxic shock cost him both legs, and the trial court entered a net judgment of $1,525,000 after the hospital's pro rata settlement credit.
A District of Columbia jury awarded $2 million to a hardware store customer who suffered a subdural hematoma and emergency brain surgery after a Hechinger employee assaulted him, and the D.C. Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict in full.
The family of a construction superintendent fatally burned when an underground steam pipe ruptured in downtown Washington in 2004 settled their wrongful death case confidentially with the federal government, D.C. Water, and the contractors named in the suit.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
