$11.11 million medical malpractice verdict. Our client went to an emergency department complaining of headache, earache, and sinus infection. Although initially the emergency department doctor chose to discharge her, she refused to leave when she had difficulty walking out of the hospital. A brain infection, a rare form of bacterial meningitis, was not diagnosed by the emergency department physician, resulting in a delay of the administration of the proper antibiotic. She must live with round-the clock nursing care for the rest of her life.
