Medical Malpractice/Products Liability — Leg Amputation $2,175,000 Settlement (California 2011)

Medical Malpractice / Product Liability

Conal Doyle and Jody Moore, Law Offices of Jody Moore, obtained a recovery on behalf of a 61 year old woman whose leg was amputated below the knee due to medical negligence and products liability. The plaintiff consented to amputation of her leg because she was erroneously told she had cancer due to an error in the hospital information technology system. Plaintiff brought both medical negligence and products liability claims, and obtained pre-trial rulings that MICRA’s cap on damages did not apply to the hospital defendants. The plaintiff had no claim for future lost wages. Mr. Doyle was retained to act as trial counsel after the case was originally brought and worked up by Ms. Moore.
