Attorney obtained a defense verdict on behalf of an orthopedic surgeon in a claim involving an infection that developed under a cast of a diabetic woman. Plaintiffs claimed that her death 5 weeks later was as a direct result of the infection and its complications. The jury rejected these arguments finding that the cast needed to be applied and was monitored appropriately.
