A Delaware County jury has awarded $1.125 million to a woman who had an extra bone removed during a foot surgery.

The verdict in Kline v. Hawley was handed up Aug. 25 after a week of trial before Delaware Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Green. The jury had deliberated for 70 minutes before determining that the defendant doctor had been negligent and failed to obtain plaintiff Elena Benedetti Kline’s informed consent before the procedure.
