Richard Tynan and Timothy Grady obtained a defendant’s verdict on behalf of a local general surgeon who was sued in connection with a common bile duct injury that occurred during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. When her injury was diagnosed, the 46 year old female plaintiff was transferred to a tertiary care facility to undergo a Roux-en-Y repair procedure. The plaintiff’s lawyer asked the jury to return a $916,000 verdict on behalf of the plaintiff. The jury deliberated over 5 hours before returning a defense verdict.
