Mr. Geraci is an accomplished trial attorney.  His largest jury verdict to date is $6.5 million, awarded in DuPage County, Illinois, in 2003.  Before that time, there were no large medical malpractice verdicts in that county.  Mr. Geraci's case, on behalf of a disabled 11 year old injured at birth when his mother's care was neglected by hospital personnel, established that a properly prepared case medical malpractice case can receive a fair trial even in a staunchly conservative locale.  Since that time, there have been 3 other medical malpractice verdicts larger than this case in DuPage County.  The case was appealed by the defense, upheld in the Appellate and Supreme Courts of Illinois, and after exhausting appeals, the defendant paid the full verdict including every cent of interest, amounting to a recovery of over $8 million.  After costs of trial and appeal and attorneys' fees, which are low in many medical malpractice cases, the guardian of the estate of the minor had on deposit almost $6 million to provide for future care for the expected life of the young disabled man.. Although Peter Francis Geraci has long practiced trial law, solely on behalf of injured persons, he is better know for his consumer bankruptcy practice.  Visit the website for that bankruptcy practice for more information.
