Virginia lawyers weekly recently their list of the largest Virginia judgments 2009. The list had listed (a judgment must be at least $ 1 million to make the list) 21 judgments judgments with 7 of them as medical malpractice. Missing judgments ranked at 4, 5, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 20 with the highest distinction among them listed at $7.4 million. This is a whole amount.

However, being $7.4 million not what the plaintiff was awarded, simply what thought the jury the case was worth. Unfortunately, the jury was reduced judgment the applicable Virginia medical malpractice cap of $1.6 million (i.e. the misconduct occurred between 1 July 2001 and 1 July 2002 is) so that it only the 15 highest verdict in Virginia for 2009.

The story is listed the same for each of the other medical malpractice cases. In fact, if you in the caps each medical malpractice judgment applied to factor, just a case makes the top 10, a judgment $ 1.85 million, and it has rankte Darden as number combo 10., the million dollar-Medmal judgments from Virginia in 2009 total $ 11.72 million not the largest same 2009 judgment in the State, and a 13.5 million $ false advertising claim.

Food for thought is the next time the someone you that says medical malpractice reforms, required. Unfortunately is already here and the applicant's their only recovery since 1999 refuse served has.
