A Charlotte County jury on Friday awarded Debra Crouch, widow of Russell Crouch, a $625,000 verdict for pain and suffering her husband endured as a result of injuries he sustained on behalf of a nurse at Bayfront Health Port Charlotte in 2018.
Russell Crouch sought damages for the premature removal of a temporary Foley catheter, which resulted in him needing a permanent catheter for the rest of his life. Crouch passed away from cancer – not related to negligence alleged in the lawsuit – before his case was resolved.
