About Loretta Sheehan

USA, arising from malpractice at Tripler Army Medical Center. Her other results include a $15.4 million settlement for the wrongful death of a woman killed while hiking on Kauai, a $6.25 million jury verdict for a golfer paralyzed due to negligent golf course maintenance by MidPac Country Club, and a $4.2 million judgment after trial in a botched gastric bypass surgery case.
