The jury said the doctor was 25 percent at fault and after calculating other interest, lawyers for Dr. Chetan Vaid said the total award would be about $13 million, according to the report.

A jury in state Superior Court in Stamford returned the verdict after a five-week civil trial that ended Feb. 23, according to the Connecticut Law Tribune.

A Greenwich physician has won a $14.5 million verdict against a Greenwich gym and personal trainer after he suffered a massive stroke that his lawyers claimed was caused by the trainer who was not properly trained.

Vaid was a 42-year-old primary care physician in Greenwich in 2011 when he joined the Equinox gym in Greenwich. Vaid employed one of the gym's personal trainers, identified as Joe Dominguez, to help with his workouts.

Vaid's lawyer, Victorio de Toledo of Casper & de Toledo in Stamford, argued that Dominguez was not properly trained on how to help clients use the equipment, including a rowing machine.

Vaid also claimed that Dominguez set high settings on the machine and ordered him to perform other exercises which ultimately caused him to suffer a massive stroke. Following treatment at Westchester Medical Center, Vaid received outpatient therapy at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital for several years to help overcome deficits from the stroke. While he was on medical leave, Greenwich Medical Group was taken over by Stamford Health Integrated Practice. He was offered a position with the new organization, but his health prevented him from working the required full-time hours.

In 2013, he began to work towards getting back to his vocation in small steps including teaching niology in after school programs through Level Up Village. In 2014 and 2015 he worked limited hours in Greenwich Hospital Occupational Health performing physicals. At the end of 2014, he opened a very low volume internal medicine practice Greenwich Private Medicine in Cos Cob.

Vaid sued Equinox for negligent training, supervision, and retaining Dominguez as a trainer, as well as Dominguez individually for negligence, according to the Law Tribune article that can be found here.
