Ohio Medical Malpractice Verdict Reversed

Posted on November 1, 2007 by David Austin

The Ohio Supreme Court threw out a $30 million dollar medical malpractice case in Ohio.  The court cited the plaintiff lawyer's theatrics during the case as one of the reasons for overturning the verdict.

The case involved a brain injury case arising from a delayed cesarean section.

In his closing argument to the jury, Fieger assumed client Walter Hollins' character in his mother's womb, his brain deprived of oxygen as he waited to be delivered.

"Doctors, nurses, I'm suffocating. Please help me to be born," Fieger told the jury. "I want to play baseball. I want to hug my mother. I want to tell her that I love her. Help me."

Hollins, 20, of Cleveland, will have to file another lawsuit to seek compensation for his injuries.
