Notable results
A 12-year-old Cleveland girl suffered a profound brain injury and partial limb loss after touching an energized, downed Cleveland Electric Illuminating power line that had been left unrepaired for days following Hurricane Sandy; her family settled all claims for $60.7 million, the largest individual personal injury settlement in Ohio history.
A Cuyahoga County jury awarded $14.5 million to a boy born at 25 weeks with cerebral palsy and developmental delays after MetroHealth Medical Center's staff refused his mother's repeated requests for a C-section and watched the baby's condition deteriorate for more than three hours before performing an emergency delivery.
A Summit County jury awarded $11.35 million to a family whose son sustained permanent brain damage after their obstetrician used forceps rather than performing a cesarean section, and the verdict survived four years of appeals.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
