Recent Result

Jury returns a unanimous verdict of no negligence in under an hour

Laurie Shannon and Gregory Nesbitt achieved yet another defense verdict together, this time in Philadelphia County. Laurie led the defense team in this case which involved an ER physician who Plaintiff claimed failed to timely diagnose him with a serious ocular emergency, resulting in permanent damage to his vision. Plaintiff claimed that the physician anchored to a headache diagnosis and overlooked the possibility of acute angle closure glaucoma. In fact, the defense was able to prove to the jury during the week-long trial that the doctor met the standard of care in evaluating and treating Plaintiff and did timely diagnose him, particularly where the patient failed to provide an accurate history regarding prior eye surgery.
