Jurors award $100K in doctor death from ambulance crash
By: Associated Press//December 9, 2016//
Listen to this articleMADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Dane County jury has awarded $100,000 to the parents of a doctor who was killed in an ambulance crash in 2013.
But the jury on Thursday gave no award for pain and suffering Dr. Stanley Phillips may have experienced.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports the verdict won’t give Phillips’ parents more money than they have already received.
Phillips and three other medical workers were heading to Appleton to bring a baby to Meriter Hospital in Madison for surgery when the ambulance crashed on Highway 26 near Rosendale.
The attorney for the doctor’s parents argued in court Monday that Phillips intended to help take care of them financially in their retirement. Meriter’s insurance company agreed to pay medical bills, funeral costs and an amount for loss of companionship.
