Fill Out the Form to Watch Closing Statements From Gilbert v. The Portland Clinic
Last year, an Oregon jury handed down a roughly $25 million verdict in a medical malpractice claim accusing staff at an outpatient surgical facility of failing to react to a patient’s crashing vital signs during a routine colonoscopy. And now you can watch the complete closings of that trial, named one of CVN’s Most Impressive Plaintiff’s Verdicts of 2024, FREE, thanks to ChartSquad.
The family of an Oregon man claims that staff at The Portland Clinic failed to properly treat the respiratory arrest he suffered during the colonoscopy. However, the Portland Clinic contends blame should be placed entirely on an anesthesiologist who was not a defendant at trial.
Jurors assigned 60 percent liability to the anesthesiologist and 40 percent to The Portland Clinic, while also clearing the gastroenterologist who performed the colonoscopy of any individual responsibility. That reduces The Portland Clinic’s liability on the verdict to roughly $10 million, although that amount could be reduced further post-verdict by a statutory damages cap.
Closings in the case were given by Sean Claggett, of Claggett & Sykes, for the plaintiff, and Jennifer Oetter, of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, for the defense.
