Medical Malpractice – $77,500 Verdict In Montgomery County, Alabama

72-year-old Betty Monk was injured while being transported to Baptist Medical Center South. A nurse from Southeastern Cardiology Consultants, had to transport Ms. Monk from the physician’s office to the hospital for a diagnostic test. Instead of using a wheelchair, the nurse used a walker. The walker flipped over when it hit the wheelchair ramp. As a result, Ms. Monk was thrown onto her back and suffered a broken coccyx. The case was tried by Dylan Marsh. They argued that the walker was not meant to be used as transport and was marked with explicit warnings not to use for this purpose.
