A York County jury awarded $23.9 million against a neurosurgeon over a botched spinal operation, marking the largest-ever medical malpractice verdict in the York County Court of Common Pleas. The plaintiff was represented by Ross Feller Casey partner Iddo Harel, while the defendants were represented by Saxton & Stump shareholder Chad G. Goebel III. Additionally, the jury awarded $10 million in noneconomic damages and about $9.9 million in economic damages to Spangler, plus $4 million to Spangler's wife for loss of consortium. In another case, a judge approved a $162 million award to attorneys for a class affected by the Norfolk Southern train derailment and toxic chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio, due to the historic participation in the $600 million settlement.
