A South Florida state court jury returned an eight-figure verdict to the estate of a 57-year-old man whose death, through the alleged negligence of an attending physician, was attributed to respiratory depression and cardiac arrest because of opioid toxicity.
Deborah Gander and Daniel Harwin, partners at Freedland Harwin Valori & Gander who represented plaintiff, Joshua Hamby’s estate, said ahead of the trial they knew the jury might mistakenly apply a more lax standard of care to healthcare providers, such as defendants, Dr. Joshua Glauser and West Palm Beach Physician Group, due to COVID-19 conditions.
