Defendant's Attorney: Paul E. Weathington
Description: Atlanta, Georgia personal injury lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendants on medical malpractice theories.
Plaintiff claimed that the medical care provided by Dr. Satterwhite fell below the standard of care with the result that Plaintiffs' child suffered an iatrogenic hand injury caused by lack of blood circulation to the hand. Dr. Satterwhite wrapped the child’s splint with a combination of self-adhesive “Coban” wrap over “ACE” flexible wrap, which Plaintiffs claimed cut off circulation of the child's hand.
Defendants denied fault and claimed that the injury was caused by a rare, unforeseeable condition.
The Defendants offered to pay $2 million to settle the claims made against them before trial.
Outcome: Plaintiffs' verdict for $9 million.
