October 24, 2025
On October 23, a Tucker Ellis trial team secured a complete defense verdict following a seven-day medical negligence trial. The case centered on allegations that a physician failed to obtain adequate informed consent before performing a surgical procedure. After the plaintiff sought significant damages for alleged nerve injury and related pain, the jury deliberated for just over a half day before unanimously finding in favor of the defense.
Jen Steinmetz, Madeline Dennis, and Tayler Gill represented the group at trial, with the assistance of a robust team that included Zach Kaplan, Lucy Zelina, Ethan Weber, Mike Ruttinger, Jeff Whitesell, Jessica Toncler, Benjamin Crawford, Renee Chaya, Kris Susinskas, Amanda Bocciarelli, and David Hess.
