Lou La Cava and Jason Azzarone Obtained a Defense Verdict in a Medical Malpractice Case in Hillsborough County

/in

Jason M. AzzaroneLouis J. La CavaLou La Cava and Jason Azzarone obtained a defense verdict in a medical malpractice case tried in Hillsborough County. The Plaintiff alleged that the Defendant performed an unnecessary eye surgery on a 28 year old woman which resulted in severe, intolerable, intractable eye pain which prevented her from working at the high paying job she had, doing normal daily activities, causing post traumatic stress disorder and severe depression and from taking care of her young daughter. They alleged this would continue for the rest of her life since none of the treatment she received for 5 years, according to her, relieved her eye pain. The defense position was the surgery was indicated based on all of her signs and symptoms. The defense also challenged the Plaintiff’s contention that she really was suffering from severe intractable pain. The plaintiff argued in closing argument for a verdict up to 15 to 20 million dollars. After an 8 day trial, the jury returned a defense verdict after just 10 minutes of deliberations. This is just another example of why certain cases must be tried in spite of a climate where there is fear about juries returning eight figure verdicts. When there is a meritorious defense, the defense attorneys are well prepared and the case is properly presented, jurors are very capable of determining justice can and should be a finding of no negligence and no money damages.
