Snyder & Wenner, P.C. partners Brian Snyder and David Wenner, experts in understanding jury bias, share how they secured Arizona’s highest medical malpractice verdict in decades on behalf of Esmeralda Tripp. A disabled woman with atrial fibrillation, Esmeralda entered the state university’s teaching hospital with abnormal bloodwork. She was treated by a recent medical school graduate, who ordered an off-label use of the high-risk blood clotting drug Profilnine.  As a result of the drug, Esmeralda suffered a heart attack and sustained permanent brain damage from a lack of oxygen to the brain, requiring round-the-clock care. A Tucson, Arizona jury returned a verdict of $15 million in damages.
