A jury awarded a woman $2.5 million after deciding that her debilitating stroke was a result of complications caused by a doctor's misdiagnosis. However, there is a Virginia law that caps medical malpractice awards which has now reduced that award to $1.65 million. The woman suffered brain damage and can no longer work as a result of the medical malpractice.
