Proven verdicts and settlements
A Cuyahoga County jury found MetroHealth Medical Center and its obstetrician departed from the standard of care in a high-risk pregnancy, leaving a child born at 25 weeks with cerebral palsy, developmental delays and visual impairment. The jury awarded $14.5 million. Ohio's cap on non-economic damages against political subdivisions and a collateral-source offset cut it to $3.451 million at the trial court, and in 2017 the Eighth District reinstated the future economic award, for a total of $8.5 million.
