A Cuyahoga County jury Tuesday ordered the Cleveland Clinic to pay $7.6 million to a Gates Mills woman who was paralyzed after a back surgery.
The jury handed up the decision to Common Pleas Judge Emily Hagan following a two-week trial involving medical malpractice claims. In a statement, the Clinic said it respected the jury’s decision, “but we do not agree with the outcome and are evaluating our options.”
Hance suffered from a condition known as syringomyelia, which involves the presence of a fluid-filled cavity within her spinal cord. Kalfas recommended surgery to relieve the issue. They said the surgeon told Hance that the surgery would “make her 95% better.” If the surgery did not work, her condition would be unchanged, the filings show.“The catastrophic effects of the surgery manifested immediately and dramatically as Laurie awakened from anesthesia,” the documents said.
“She walked in and never walked again,” Kampinski said. “Hopefully, this won’t ever happen to anyone else.”
