The Vrdolyak Law Group has obtained a verdict of $2,865,495 from a Cook County jury for a 58-year-old diabetic woman who was injured as a result of unnecessary surgical procedures performed by a well-known podiatrist. It is believed to be the second-largest non-amputation podiatry verdict in Cook County history and the fifth-largest verdict or settlement for any podiatry case. Vrdolyak Law Group attorneys leading the case were Barry Bollinger, James Dawdy, and Steven C. Armbruster.
The defendants in the case refused to make a settlement offer prior to the verdict. They claimed that the surgeries were necessary and had resolved the woman’s issues. The defense introduced evidence that the plaintiff was given the option to proceed with non-surgical conservative care but instead, elected to have the surgical procedures performed. The Vrdolyak Law Group retained a highly regarded professor of podiatric surgery as the plaintiff’s expert to refute the defendant’s assertions.
This case marks Bollinger and Dawdy’s second multi-million dollar medical malpractice jury verdict for the Vrdolyak Law Group in 10 months.
