A Chester County jury awarded $20 million to the family of a woman who died after she was allegedly discharged prematurely from a spinal surgery center.

The jury deliberating in Kimble v. Laser Spine Institute handed down the verdict Wednesday afternoon following eight days of trial. Along with awarding $10 million each to the estate of Sharon Kimble and her husband Robert Kimble, the jury also awarded liability against both the Laser Spine Institute and Dr. Glenn Rubenstein, the anesthesiologist who treated Kimble.
