FSM Partners Cook and Brackman Recognized for Top Defense Verdict

01/29/2016
Firm partners Jacqueline Cook and Chris Brackman secured one of the top defense verdicts in Missouri, according to Missouri Lawyers Weekly. The case resulting in the defense verdict was a medical malpractice case tried over two weeks in Jackson County, Missouri.  Plaintiff, a minor child, and her mother claimed that the child sustained injuries including brain injury and cerebral palsy as a result of the negligence of two of the treating physicians from the labor and delivery unit.  Plaintiff asserted $255,875 in past medical expenses, $1,190,288 in lost earning capacity, and $11,198,200 in future life care medical costs at trial.   During closing arguments, plaintiff’s counsel sought over $20 Million in total damages. 

Cook and Brackman will be recognized during the Missouri Lawyers Awards ceremony on January 29th at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark.
