A jury has awarded more than $14.3 million to the parents of a child who died after being born with severe brain damage, finding medical malpractice insurer ISMIE acted in bad faith in allegedly misleading doctors the family had sued, leaving the doctors to fill a coverage gap of more than $1 million following a jury verdict against them – a coverage gap the doctors said they were led to believe would not exist.
The parents of a child, who died because of medical malpractice, are suing the insurance company of some of the doctors involved, alleging the company owes the parents more than $1 million in an unpaid judgment and should pay another $10 million for allegedly pulling the wool over the eyes of the doctors as to how much coverage was available to pay the parents.
