   The company said the magnitude of the verdict was unexpected based on a search of verdicts in comparable cases, and that it is not precedent-setting for a single-plaintiff injury case of this type in Champaign County, Illinois.

   Universal Health Services said Pavilion is evaluating all legal options and intends to challenge the verdict in post-judgment trial court proceedings and on appeal.
