Perron v. Village Podiatry Group, LLC

VERDICT

Trial
05/22/23 – 05/26/23

Summary

In this medical malpractice case, Christine Perron underwent surgery for a broken ankle, performed by podiatrist Dr. Braun Russell. Perron suffered a nerve injury, which she claims resulted from the procedure.

Perron contends that Dr. Russell severed a nerve during surgery and failed to provide appropriate treatment, resulting in her suffering lifelong damage. Representatives for Perron assert that Russell’s records highlighted her improvements despite Perron telling him that she was in extreme pain.

Representatives for Dr. Russell propose that the nerve could have been severed when Perron broke her ankle or at a point after surgery.

Outcome

Verdict for plaintiff.
Total damages: $4 million.
