By: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF//April 6, 2011

Torts
Medical malpractice; negligence; causation; damages

Peri Aldrich, M.D., and her employer, Bellin Health Systems, Inc., are co-appellants in this wrongful death medical malpractice case. A jury found them causally negligent in the death of Gustavo Espinal-Santos, who was treated at a Bellin clinic by two Physician Assistants (P.A.s) under Dr. Aldrich’s supervision. Dr. Aldrich and Bellin contend the evidence does not support the verdict as to negligence, causation or damages, particularly the $2.7 million pain and suffering award. We disagree and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
