A jury awarded a $14 million verdict on Monday, December 11 in a case involving four-year-old patient Samuel Munoz, who died at the now-defunct Einstein Medical Center in Elkins Park.

According to The Legal Intelligencer, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Jefferson Health were accused of fatally botching the intubation of Munoz. Jurors determined that CHOP, the sole defendant at trial, held most of the responsibility (67%) for his death.

CHOP had previously evaded liability in a 2020 trial which ended in a nonsuit, the legal website said.
