Phyllis Rivers, pregnant, was treated at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage. Her doctors noted at least three indicators of infective endocarditis, rejected that diagnosis in favor of pregnancy-induced vasculitis, stopped her antibiotics after four days and sent her home. Untreated, the infection caused a stroke that left her paralyzed. After a bench trial under the Federal Tort Claims Act the court entered a $22,000,000 judgment against the United States and found the doctors reckless, which lifted Alaska's $400,000 malpractice cap. The Ninth Circuit affirmed in 2018.
An 18-year-old died in May 2005 when his snow machine went into a hole in the ice near Barrow that North Slope Borough Public Works had dug. His mother, Isabel Brower, sued the Borough, and an August 2007 jury found it negligent and a legal cause of his death. The jury awarded $1,756,365. Alaska's cap on noneconomic damages cut the award to $1,280,675, and the Alaska Supreme Court affirmed in 2009.
