Jury Awards $52 million to MRIA in its Case Against St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center

11/1/2011

A  12 person jury unanimously found in favor of MRIA, on all its claims against St. Alphonsus. This is the second time this case has been tried and the second time a jury has, unanimously, found in favor of MRIA. 

Claims against St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center included breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith & fair dealing, interference with contractual relations and civil conspiracy. 

In 2007, a Fourth Judicial District Court in Ada County awarded MRIA $64 million in damages. This amount was reduced to $36 million and was overturned/sent back for retrial by the Idaho Supreme Court in 2009. 

This time the jury awarded MRIA $52 million.

MRIA was represented by BWS attorneys Banducci, Woodard, Bastian and Parker. St. Alphonsus was represented by Jones Day attorneys from Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, Ca. Local counsel for St. Alphonsus was Gjording & Fouser PLLC.
