The patient was on an imaging table during a procedure. The table collapsed, and the patient and his wife blamed the table collapse for the patient’s subsequent medical problems.
The Verdict:
The jury held radiologic technologist responsible for 100% of the damages suffered by the patient. A physician who was also sued was found not to be responsible.
Total Compensation:
The couple will receive a total of $14.4 million after interest is added to the $9 million verdict.
This case highlights the importance of patient safety and accountability during medical procedures.
