Physician/Nurses; Simpe Battery; Punitive Damages; Jury Trial
A local nurse was referred to the Firm by her personal doctor when she claimed that she had been improperly touched by a physician at the hospital where she worked. The Firm undertook her representation on a contingency fee basis and filed a lawsuit against the offending physician. When he denied ever touching the nurse, and refused to make any settlement offer at mediation, the Firm tried the case to a Jury, and the result was a verdict against the doctor for significant compensatory damages and for punitive damages as well.
