The family of a 59-year old Daphne, Alabama woman, Sharron Juno, has won a $140,000,000 judgment from a jury for her wrongful death.
Sharron Juno died because of a "typo". A lifelong diabetic, Juno had her insulin dosage dictated by her doctor in Alabama but transcribed by an outsourced sub-contractor in India, who wrote “80” instead of “8.”Juno passed away after receiving a dose ten times what it should be. The jury’s anger at the defendants – Thomas Hospital in Fairhope, Ala. and the outsourcing companies it contracted with – drove the $140 million verdict, said attorneys who represented the plaintiff’s family.

That lawyer certainly did his job well then. I imagine a lawyer in Calgary would do the same, but I'm not sure. I'm just glad that the family was given a settlement. Even that does nothing to replace what she meant to her family.
