A Philadelphia jury has sided with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in a medical malpractice suit in which the legal guardian of a minor with cerebral palsy accused the hospital of failing to timely diagnose the child’s mother with preeclampsia during her pregnancy.
On Nov. 12, following a two-week trial before Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Gary F. DiVito, a 12-member jury voted 10-2 that the defendant hospital, along with co-defendants University of Pennsylvania Medical Center and the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, had not been negligent.
