In a historic battle for justice, Thomas Moore secured a $130,000,000 verdict for a child who suffered catastrophic injuries during birth due to hospital negligence. This award stands as the second-largest medical malpractice verdict in New York State history, delivered by a Suffolk County Supreme Court jury.
The case gained national attention because the defense offered an $8 million settlement during the trial. Recognizing that this amount was insufficient to cover the child’s lifelong medical needs, our firm turned down the offer and fought until the jury returned a verdict over 16 times higher.
