Pa. Jury Awards $1.8 Million in Legal Malpractice Suit
A Philadelphia jury has awarded nearly $1.8 million in a legal malpractice case in which the plaintiff alleged her attorney failed to plead all of the relevant theories in her medical malpractice case, leading to the necessity of settling her case for $1 million, despite having received a $2.5 million verdict. The jury found that attorney David M. Barry was negligent, but that the law firm Feldman & Pinto, which handled the medical malpractice case after a referral from Barry, was not negligent.
