Larin's Jury Verdict & Analysis (JVRA.com) is reporting a hospital negligence verdict of $9,279,885.00 involving an emergency room. In this Fairfield, Connecticut medical malpractice matter, the 72 year-old female patient brought a civil suit against the hospital alleging it was negligent in administering an overdose of Levenex anticoagulant medication that caused her a massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage and respiratory arrest. This came after the patient was presented to the defendant hospital's emergency room with complaints of a urinary tract infection. The patient developed a deep vein thrombosis at the site due to a PICC line required to treat the urosepsis.
The defendant hospital admitted liability, but disputed causation and damages; alleging that the plaintiff's failure to take care of herself which the hospital maintained was the underlying cause of the plaintiff's current disability, and not the medication overdose.
The case went to trial; the jury deliberated for 1 and 1/2 hours and returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $9,279,885.00.
