In the end, the South Georgia jury found Morgan and Albany Vascular Specialist Center to be 50% at responsibility and Palazzolo, Ungarino, and Albany Pulmonary and Critical Care Associates to be 50% at fault.
Although the hospital settled Powell’s claims against them before to the trial, it was not listed as a defendant by the time it started, but all 12 jurors absolved the hospital of any liability.
In response to the verdict, the doctors’ and businesses’ attorneys released a statement on Wednesday, praising Powell’s attorneys
For their efforts in court and the judge for ensuring a fair and impartial trial, according to the Atlanta Journal.
Their statement reaffirmed the doctors’ ‘proper’ approach to the situation, even as it noted the ‘tragic and extraordinarily complex medical emergency’ Powell faced in 2013.
