Devin Deane and Mark Lavoie successfully tried a complex medical malpractice case to a defense verdict after two-week jury trial in Cumberland County Superior Court.  Devin and Mark represented an outstanding neurosurgeon against a claim of malpractice resulting in paralysis.  The trial was hard-fought and well-presented by both sides, but the neurosurgeon’s case was supported by multiple leading experts in the field who testified at trial.  The jury rejected the plaintiff’s $8,000,000 demand in closing argument and returned a defense verdict in the neurosurgeon’s favor.  The defense verdict was a vindication for the surgeon, who stood by their care throughout the lengthy litigation and delays caused by Covid’s impacts on our civil justice system.
