18252001060051Portland Me. : Printed for James Adams Jr. by David and Seth Paine 1825. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Medical Malpractice: Early American Legal History Front board detached. 124 p. Institutional stamps on title page. First edition of a medical malpractice pamphlet from Machias Maine. The plaintiff Charles Lowell 1793-1858 was an Ellsworth ME lawyer who was thrown from his horse. Lowell was injured in the fall and he dislocated his left hip. Due to poor medical treatment the injury progressed to paralysis on the left side of his body. "Lowell sued Faxon and Hawks for malpractice and asked for $10000 in damages. In March 1823 a jury found Faxon and Hawks guilty of malpractice and awarded Lowell $1962 an extraordinary sum in the early nineteenth century. The physicians appealed the case and won the opportunity for a retrial. The jury in the second trial could not decide on a verdict and passed the case to the trial judge who awarded Lowell only $100. The defendants appealed this verdict too which led to a third trial. The jury could not decide on a verdict and Judge Weston convinced Lowell to drop the malpractice charge permanently. The volume of literature on this case far exceeded the literature published on any other suit in the century and underlines the rarity of the litigation in this period. The Lowell drama generated intense national interest and haunted the central characters for years. The series of trials reportedly cost Lowell $2000 and left him in financial ruin. Dr. Hawks spent between $2000 and $3000 on his defense and labored for years to overcome his debt." De Ville Medical Malpractice in Nineteenth-Century America pp. 13 18-19. <br> Shoemaker 21263.
