In 2014, Tom Dukes had a nineteen day trial that resulted in a Defense Verdict for our client, an anesthesiologist. The case involved the tragic death after C-section of a 37 year old mother who delivered twins. The Plaintiff’s theory of the case was that the patient died from unrecognized and uncontrolled bleeding. The defense argued that the patient died from amniotic fluid embolus, a rare, deadly , unpredictable and unavoidable condition associated with childbirth. The case was very complex, with experts in the fields of anesthesiology, critical care, obstetrics, pathology and economics.
