Eleven more Dr. John Anderson King medical malpractice lawsuits settled recently. Dr. King was an osteopathic physician in Putnam General Hospital in Charleston from November 2002 until June 2003. During his employment, King’s care generated 124 different medical malpractice suits.

The amounts of the new settlements were not announced. Since the slew of lawsuits against him, King has filed for bankruptcy in Alabama and plans to become a Tennessee real-estate appraiser, although his application is still pending.

The Ontario Court of Appeals held up a 2006 verdict to award $17 million in a personal injury case.  This sum represents the largest personal injury settlement ever awarded in a Canadian court.  The case was based on a 1997 accident where a toddler fell from a fifth story window.  The toddler sustained a debilitating, frontal lobe brain injury from the fall through a broken screen.  Charges were pressed against the landlord and apartment complex, as numerous repair requests had been submitted prior to the accident.

The child survived the accident but remained in a coma for several weeks.  Unfortunately, he was unable to fully recover from the traumatic injuries and will require around the clock professional care for the remainder of his life.  In addition, the boy will never develop mentally past the age of twelve due to the severe nature of the brain injuries.  In sum, the award is in excess of $17 million with interest added.
