$10 Million Dollar Jury Verdict
Ed Walsh was the lead trial lawyer, along with Jim Knippen, in this six (6) week long jury trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Chicago. Seventy-five (75) depositions were conducted all over the United States before this complex defective product and medical malpractice case proceeded to jury trial.
Ed’s efforts and skills as a trial lawyer were singularly devoted to securing justice for his eight year old client, Johanna. Through the skilled use of computer digital presentation graphics demonstrative evidence, Ed was able to simplify an extremely complex product and medical case. As a result, he successfully explained how a defective ventilator and repeated medical malpractice by the Chief of Neonatology at a University Hospital needlessly caused profound brain injury in Johanna, resulting in catastrophic lifelong injuries.
Ed’s experience, skill and compassion encouraged the jury to award his young client $10,080,000 so that she could be provided with the needed medical and personal care for her lifetime. No other DuPage County attorney has ever achieved such a jury verdict or settlement in a products liability or medical malpractice case in the history of DuPage County.
