Proven verdicts and settlements won by The Cline Law Firm, LLC
An Allen County jury awarded a Fort Wayne woman $2,670,000 after finding that Dr. Shashi Ahuja mishandled a relatively new medical device during a procedure and left a polymer fragment in an artery in her right leg, leaving her with a disfigured and largely unusable lower leg.
A jury found that an emergency room doctor's failure to diagnose a vascular injury caused a Wayne County, Indiana man to lose his right leg above the knee. Jerry Warren fell from a stepladder in June 2011, and when he was taken to the ER at Reid Hospital, the treating physician diagnosed a likely torn calf muscle despite a nurse's notes describing his foot as purple with no detectable pulse; within days the leg could not be saved. A Wayne Circuit Court jury awarded Warren $3.5 million in September 2024, which the trial court reduced to Indiana's $1.25 million medical malpractice cap applicable to his 2011 injury. The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment in full on August 28, 2026, rejecting the defense's challenges to a photo of Warren's foot and to the trial court's handling of a juror who disclosed an outside phone call about the case.
