$23.5M med mal jury verdict in DeSoto Shelby County

Will Raiford of Merkel and Cocke in Clarksdale, Jim Lees of the Charleston, West Virginia law firm of Hunt & Lees, and Philip Stroud of the Southaven, Mississippi firm of Stroud & Harper as plaintiffs lawyers in a medical malpractice case in DeSoto Shelby County just got a 23,600,000 verdict in a medical malpractice case invovling their client’s breast cancer; her ob-gyn ignored her complaints relating to breast lumps both before and during a pregnancy.

Update: County corrected.
