A Philadelphia jury awards $25 million to man who lost limb due to 
medical malpractice. A Philadelphia jury awarded over $25 million in 
a malpractice suit against Temple University Hospital   

Temple called this award "excessive" and intends to appeal for a 
lowered amount.  

Some states have caps on non-economic damages in malpractice cases, 
but these are controversial.  

This past May, a Philadelphia jury awarded $25.9 million to Eddie 
Parks in a case against Temple University Hospital. Parks filed suit 
against the Philadelphia hospital in 2019 after a 2018 emergency room 
visit for an injury to his right leg resulted in a 39-day stay and 
eventual lower-limb amputation.
