Jury Verdict

 

This was a wrongful death case in Oregon. Erric Gilbert went to Portland Clinic for a routine colonoscopy because he was having stomach pain. An anesthesiologist administered general anesthesia for the procedure. The colonoscopy was performed but Erric did not wake up from the anesthesia. He stopped breathing and his heart stopped. The medical staff did not properly respond to this emergency and Erric ultimately passed away.

Trial took place in 2024 in Oregon. The jury found the Portland Clinic to be negligent and returned a verdict in favor of Erric’s family as follows:

$4,113,500 – economic damages

$20,500,000 – non-economic damages
