CHICAGO (October 3, 2023) — A Cook County jury awarded $32,747,000 on September 29 to a young man who had to undergo a foot amputation after two physicians failed to recognize signs of a blood clot, despite clear signs of a blood clot and a medical history that made him more prone to clots.
The jury awarded $9.5 million for past and future loss of a normal life; $10.5 million for past and future pain and suffering; $6.6 million for past and future emotional distress; and $1.1 million for past and future medical expenses, among other awards, according to plaintiff’s counsel. The plaintiff was represented by David J. Rashid, Patrick A. Salvi II, and Jennifer M. Cascio of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard.
