A Philadelphia jury has hit two medical organizations with a $2.5 million verdict over a wheelchair-bound man who suffered a fatal fall after an eye care center released him on his own into the bright summer sun following an eye procedure that left his pupils dilated and his vision fuzzy.

The jury that presided over the case Pratt v. Wills Eye Hospital hit the Wills Eye Hospital and Jefferson University Hospital with the multimillion-dollar award Monday following a six-day trial before Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Frederica Massiah-Jackson. The verdict included $1 million in wrongful death and $1.5 million survival damages, and liability was allocated as 30% against Wills Eye Hospital and 70% against Jefferson University Hospital.
