Proven verdicts and settlements

A 12-year-old boy died during surgery to repair a cut at Condell Medical Center in Libertyville in December 1999. A Lake County jury returned a $7.5 million wrongful death verdict against the surgeon and the anesthesiologist in February 2006. After credit for co-defendant settlements, a $6.3 million judgment stood, and the Illinois Appellate Court affirmed it in 2008.
