A jury has awarded $30 million -- the largest med-mal verdict awarded by a Philadelphia panel in recent years -- to the family of a 5-year-old boy whose severe cognitive and developmental deficiencies were alleged to have resulted from the misadministration of a blood-clot-busting medication. However, the actual disposition amount in the case is officially under wraps, as the parties reached a confidential high-low agreement shortly after the jury began deliberations.

A Philadelphia jury has awarded $30 million — the largest verdict seen in the 1st Judicial District in years — to the family of a 5-year-old South Jersey boy whose severe cognitive and developmental deficiencies were alleged to have resulted from the misadministration of a blood-clot-busting medication.
The boy was treated with the medication several years ago while a patient at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
