Successes

FMG attorneys Eric Eide and Keegan Shelby obtained a defense verdict after a 7-day jury trial involving a medical malpractice and wrongful death lawsuit. The plaintiff asserted claims for negligence arising out of an allegedly missed bacterial meningitis diagnosis by an emergency department physician and vicarious responsibility of associated business entities. The plaintiff asked the jury to award more than $31 million in damages. The jury found there was no negligence, resulting in a final judgment fully in favor of FMG’s clients.
