Shepherd v M.D.
Decision date: 11/07/08
Case No. 04-CV-3971
State of Wisconsin/Circuit Court/Dane County
Jury Trial

In this two week medical negligence case, CLG successfully defended a Dane County maternal fetal medicine specialist from claims that a delay in delivery led to a child's cerebral palsy. The plaintiff contended that as a result of the delayed delivery, the plaintiff suffered hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, which in turn led to cerebral palsy. It was conceded that the plaintiff had a normal life expectancy and that he would be wheelchair bound and cognitively disabled for life. This was a complex medical negligence case, with approximately 70 motions in limine and 19 experts identified by the parties. The issues of standard of care, causation and damages were contested. In final argument, plaintiff's counsel requested an award for future medical and health care expenses in the amount of $2.6 million. This amount was conceded by the defense. Plaintiff's counsel sought an award for future loss of earning capacity in the amount of $3.4 million. The defense suggested an award of $1,538,000 for that category. Plaintiff's counsel declined to suggest an award for past and future pain, suffering or disability. The defense suggested a starting point for those awards of $100,000 for past pain, suffering and disability, and $500,000 for future pain, suffering and disability. By unanimous verdict, the jury found in favor of the defendant physician and hospital, and no damages were awarded.
