A jury on Friday ordered AdventHealth Porter in Denver to pay a Castle Rock man nearly $3.2 million after he sued the hospital for allegedly dropping him after surgery.
Christopher Muckerman, 82, filed a lawsuit against the hospital — formerly known as Porter Adventist Hospital — in Denver District Court in February, which alleged employees dropped him when attempting to move him from a CT scanner platform to a bed.
“The jury demonstrated their concern over Porter’s failure to thoroughly investigate Chris Muckerman’s complaint about being dropped in the CT room,” said his attorney Jerome Reinan. “That of course is a serious complaint and the fact that the complaint never seemed to be fully resolved appears to have weighed heavily on the jury decision.”
A spokeswoman for AdventHealth could not immediately be reached for comment.
The hospital treated Muckerman in March 2024 for a spinal fusion surgery and he struggled with anesthesia afterwards, according to the lawsuit.
Muckerman’s surgeon ordered a CT scan. But when staff moved him, they dropped Muckerman “a considerable distance,” the lawsuit alleged.
The fall fractured Muckerman’s spine and required an additional surgery that same month, according to the lawsuit.
