Defense verdict for OB/GYN where demand was $20 million.

We obtained a defense verdict in a wrongful death claim in Northampton, Massachusetts. ​This case involved an OB/GYN who allegedly was negligent in his use of a medical device to extract a fibroid uterus. The device spread cancer throughout the peritoneum, which then metastasized throughout the body for a long, drawn-out demise. With a demand close to $20 million, Marshall Dennehey was brought into the case to evaluate whether any defense was possible. The matter went to trial and lasted several weeks. After 40 minutes of deliberation, the jury returned a defense verdict.
