Despite unchallenged evidence that a doctor botched efforts to repair a breast implant that burst through a woman’s skin, a Fulton County jury awarded her just $125,000 for her injuries, less than even the defense had suggested to cover her pain and suffering and future surgeries.
Because the verdict was more than 25 percent below a $200,000 settlement offer the defense made the month before trial, under Georgia’s offer of judgment statute, defense attorney Michael Flint said he would seek attorney fees for the period between the time the offer was made through the trial’s conclusion.
