A Montgomery County jury awarded the Stanziano family $30,953,181 in July 2009 after finding Miami Valley Hospital negligent in a birth injury case, reportedly the largest medical malpractice verdict in Ohio at the time. The parties then reached a confidential settlement before the punitive damages phase, so the amount actually paid was less than the verdict.

$1.91 millionVerdict

A Clermont County, Ohio jury found that an emergency room doctor was negligent for failing to instruct the parents of a nine-year-old boy on how to watch for a serious head injury after a fall, a lapse that let an epidural hematoma go undetected overnight and required emergency brain surgery. The jury awarded $2,412,899 in 2010, which the trial court reduced by a $500,000 credit for the family's earlier settlement with the hospital, leaving the doctor and his practice group liable for $1,912,899 plus prejudgment interest. The Twelfth District Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict in 2012, and the Ohio Supreme Court resolved a separate dispute over how the interest should be calculated in 2013, sending that narrow issue back to the trial court. The underlying negligence finding and damages figure were never disturbed.
