Attorney obtained a defense verdict in a 6-day trial on behalf of two orthopedic surgeons

Attorney obtained a defense verdict in a 6-day trial on behalf of two orthopedic surgeons. Plaintiff alleged that he was discharged prematurely and sustained a post-operative wound infection that led to permanent osteomylitis and the potential for amputation. He had been involved in a motorcycle accident and had an open fracture of his ankle. They also alleged that further debridement of the wound was necessary, along with prophylactic antibiotics. The jury rejected these assertions and found in favor of both doctors.
