Complete defense verdict on medical negligence claim for spinal surgery.

Our client was sued over spine surgery performed on the plaintiff in 2009, alleging both negligence and fraud with respect to the surgery and follow-up visits. This case, originally filed in the middle of 2011, initially named two other doctors, both of which were dismissed after we successfully filed motions for summary judgment on their behalf. However, subsequently the case underwent numerous procedural twists and turns, including the filing of a parallel case, efforts to consolidate with the parallel case, and amendments to the complaint. Our attorneys, John Nahra and Brenda Benson, successfully navigated this long-standing case to trial this month, where the jury rejected all of plaintiff’s claims and returned a complete defense verdict in favor of our client, with the judge ordering plaintiff to pay for our client’s costs.
