Attorney Patrick L. Sullivan represented a family from New Castle, Pennsylvania that resulted in a record breaking $4,000,000 verdict. The family suffered serious harm as a result of the negligence of a local primary care physician. The primary care physician committed a medication error that resulted in the death of the patriarch of the family. The case was hard- fought from the outset, requiring the firm to navigate a complex and lengthy litigation process against multiple defense attorneys, including a challenging appellate process, before the matter ever reached a jury.
After years of advocacy, Attorney Sullivan took the case to a two-week jury trial in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. The jury returned a verdict of $4,000,000 in favor of the family — a result that stands as the largest contested liability medical malpractice verdict in Lawrence County history.
