What You Need to Know
- Temple Health filed a post-trial motion challenging a $45 million verdict for a patient who sustained neurological damage choking on food.
- The hospital argues that the plaintiffs failed to prove causation and that the jury’s finding was inconsistent.
- An attorney for the plaintiff said he believes the defendants are unlikely to succeed on their challenge.
Temple Health claims that a Philadelphia jury contradicted its own findings when it awarded $45 million against the hospital earlier this month.
Temple University Hospital argued in an Aug. 15 post-trial motion that it should be granted judgment notwithstanding the verdict or a new trial because the jury’s determination on negligence undermined the plaintiff’s claims that the hospital’s decisions led to his injuries.
