The District of Columbia Court of Appeals affirmed Christian Mester’s and former partner Ken Suggs’s verdict of $5.9 million dollars that they obtained on behalf of a woman and her husband where the health care providers failed to treat a blood clot compressing her spinal cord until it was too late.  On the first issue presented, the appellate court stated, “[t]hat Dr. Dennis too may have been negligent in failing to order prompt surgery even without confirmation of the CT scan by an MRI, as the jury found, did not nullify the Hospital’s fault in not timely conducting the test he had ordered.”  On the second issue presented relating to the verdict in the amount of almost $1 million dollars for the husband’s loss of consortium claim, the appellate court stated “[t]he injuries to Mrs. Ford were well documented in the testimony, and it would have required little imagination for the jury to evaluate the effect of that condition upon her relations with her husband.”  Read the full opinion of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
