Springfield partners Joy Syrcle and Joseph Rupcich obtained a defense verdict following a six-day jury trial in the Central District of Illinois. The plaintiff had sued a medical provider and his employer, claiming the provision of medical care to her in an emergency was without consent and constituted battery and medical battery, among other things. Plaintiff presented expert testimony that no emergency existed, which was countered by expert testimony from the Defendants on the exigency of the situation. The jury deliberated approximately one hour before returning a verdict for the defendants on all claims.
