Griffith v. Booher

The family of a 20-year-old boy sued the son's friend, who accidentally shot the son in the chest with a .45 caliber handgun, as well as Mount Carmel East hospital and its physicians for medical malpractice in the treatment of the wound. Jason Griffith went into shock and nearly bled to death after admission to the hospital before he was taken to surgery. As a result, he suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest and brain damage. Jason lived for 13 months before dying of pneumonia. The pretrial settlement demand was $2.25 million, and the offer from medical defendants was $300,000. The case was settled on the third day of trial for $2.5 million, with the medical defendants paying $1.15 million.

"The $760,000 jury award is believed to be the first such verdict against a gun merchant in the country — and the latest in a series of legal developments stressing gun merchants' responsibility to ensure that firearms don't fall into the wrong hands." — Wall Street Journal
