A Maryland woman was awarded $3.5 million in compensation in a medical malpractice lawsuit decided this week. The jury ruled that the woman had suffered from medical malpractice in 2008, when two doctors performed a surgery that left her unable to walk.
According to the patient and her lawyer, the surgeons performed an inappropriate technique that did not conform to proper medical standards. The woman experienced spinal damage and blood loss from the surgery that has led to paraplegia. The compensation awarded in the case includes payment for pain and suffering, past medical expenses, and future medical expenses.
