What You Need to Know

  • Temple Health filed a post-trial motion challenging a $45 million verdict for a patient who sustained neurological damage choking on food.
  • The hospital argues that the plaintiffs failed to prove causation and that the jury’s finding was inconsistant.
  • An attorney for the plaintiff said he believes the defendants are unlikely to succeed on their challenge.

Temple Health claims that a Philadelphia jury contradicted its own findings when it awarded $45 million against the hospital earlier this month.

Temple University Hospital argued in an Aug. 15 post-trial motion that it should be granted judgment notwithstanding the verdict or a new trial because the jury’s determination on negligence undermined the plaintiff’s claims that the hospital’s decisions led to his injuries.
