Civil Plaintiff
A West Virginia Jury Awards $17 Million in a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit
A jury in West Virginia has awarded more than $17 million in a medical malpractice lawsuit to a man who was left paralyzed after undergoing spinal surgery and later suffered a stroke.
The Kanawha County jury made the finding in a lawsuit filed by Michael Rodgers against Dr. John Orphanos.
According to his lawsuit, Rodgers was transported to Charleston Area Medical Center after a 2017 motorcycle accident.
Rodgers was able to move his arms and legs initially but lost motor function and sensation to his lower extremities following surgery.
