Posted on January 29, 2008 by David Austin

A jury in Cook County handed down a record verdict recently.  $22 million.

A Cook County jury has awarded a record $22 million to the family of a 34-year-old woman who died in 2003 from complications during delivery at an Evanston hospital.

The family of Rachelle Bentivenga alleged that hospital staff failed to properly treat her high blood pressure during labor and that she suffered a massive brain hemorrhage as a result.
