Irish attorney wins $121m medical malpractice suit
Waterford native Thomas Moore, 70, fought a case which resulted in a jury awarding around $121m (€93m) to his client last Friday. It is the largest award of his legal career.
Mr Moore has recorded 85 verdicts over $1m, won a $40m case in 2010, and a $7m case in 2008. But he described Friday’s settlement for a mother who became permanently incapacitated after being treated at three New York hospitals almost a decade ago as “very, very, gratifying”.
