DeKalb County State Court jurors have awarded $38.6 million in damages to the mother of an 18-year-old who died following a heart transplant conducted by a surgeon employed by Emory Healthcare Inc.
Plaintiff counsel credit the eight-figure outcome to their ability to “keep the case simple” for jurors, while also “impeaching many of Emory’s experts” during the medical-malpractice trial.
