A Gwinnett County State Court jury awarded $30 million against an obstetrician and medical practice for a baby born with severe brain damage from complications during birth.

The plaintiffs’ team includes: Mahaffey Pickens Tucker’s Steve Pickens, Matthew Benson and Jessica Pickens, as well as The Summerville Firm’s Darren Summerville, an appellate specialist, plus his wife Madeline Summerville of Georgia Trial Consulting as jury consultant. “It was a team effort,” Steve Pickens said. He noted it was the first trial for his daughter, first-year associate Jessica Pickens, who questioned two of the witnesses.
