TorHoerman Law was honored to serve as lead counsel for the Gill family, who on Friday night obtained a $495 million verdict against Abbott Laboratories. Robynn Gill suffered severe, irreversible brain damage due to Abbott’s misconduct. Abbott has known for years that its cow’s milk-based formula significantly increases the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature babies, and families like the Gills had their lives changed forever due to the company’s refusal to warn families and physicians. Jake Plattenberger served as lead trial counsel along with Tor Hoerman, aided by the counsel of many other attorneys and experts across the bar. TorHoerman Law represents 800 families that have been devastated by NEC due to misconduct of formula manufacturers, and we are committed to obtaining justice for all of them.
