An orthopedic surgeon inadvertently sutured a patient’s common peroneal nerve during an ACL repair and meniscectomy. The nerve injury caused the patient to develop a foot drop and she incurred approximately $100,000 in past and future medical expenses. After obtaining a default judgment for our client, we tried the damages case to a jury. The jury returned a verdict of $2,500,000.
