We tried a medical malpractice case in a county just outside of Philadelphia, with the presiding judge having a reputation for being temperamental and occasionally ornery.
This was a tragic case in which our client’s father died during a routine cardiac surgery, leaving his son, Eddie, as a 15-year-old orphan (his mother died a few years earlier).
During the trial, we settled with the primary Defendants but went to verdict against the remaining Defendant. We got a mixed verdict, but the moment was not lost on the judge.
As the parties and the lawyers were packing up and leaving the courtroom, the judge quietly asked Eddie to approach the bench, which he did.
We could all see the judge and our client quietly talking to each other for a few minutes. Afterward, our client told us that the judge said very kind, supportive, meaningful, and understanding words that Eddie remembers to this day.
We’ve come to learn how much this meant to Eddie, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the way the judge handled such a delicate situation.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it’s time to take a stand.
