Doctor's insurers liable for damages nearing $2 million
February 22, 1991 By David Michael Ettlin

In an unusual trial, a medical malpractice insurance company has been found liable for almost $2 million in damages for negligence and bad faith representation of an anesthesiologist in refusing to settle a brain-damage case out of court.

The beneficiary of the jury verdict returned Tuesday in Baltimore Circuit Court is Deborah L. Evans, 43, a former city schoolteacher who suffered brain damage while under anesthesia during a routine gynecological operation at the old Lutheran Hospital in 1983.

Ms. Evans sued the anesthesiologist -- Dr. Clarence E. Beverly, who had suffered a serious brain injury in a 1975 fall and was told by his doctors to give up that practice. Another malpractice case involving the death of one of his patients at the Wyman Park Health System that year was settled for $1 million, and Dr. Beverly's Maryland license later was revoked.

A Maryland Health Claims Arbitration Office panel initially awarded Ms. Evans $500,000. Her lawyer, Marvin Ellin, sought the $1 million maximum under Dr. Beverly's insurance coverage from Medical Mutual and threatened to take the malpractice case before a Circuit Court jury.
