DBMS Obtains Defense Verdict in Cook County
September 7, 2023
Client:
Synopsis:Physician
Outcome:Defense Verdict
Mark Burden and Katie Trucco successfully defended a general surgeon in a medical negligence case in Cook County. Plaintiff alleged that the surgeon negligently performed a tunneled dialysis catheter placement procedure, resulting in a perforated esophagus. Katie and Mark presented persuasive evidence that the complication was not the result of negligence, and the surgeon was reasonably careful when attempting to place the catheter. The jury deliberated for just over an hour before returning a verdict for the defense.
