$1.3
Million Verdict in Med-Mal Case in Clark County Case
Winchester Sun
|
A Powell County woman has been awarded more than $1.3 million in
damages from a Clark Regional Medical Center doctor the victim says
allowed her cancer to go undetected.
A Clark Circuit Court jury awarded Linda Carol Abney $1,334,636 from
Dr. Dusik Shin, a radiologist who works as a contract physician for
the hospital. She testified that Dr. Shin misread a report that
indicated she had cancer in 1995. She alleged that had the cancer
been caught earlier, she would have required a less-intensive
treatment.

- Are 'Failure to Settle' Claim,
Real Estate Commissions Part of Bankruptcy Estate?
Where an insurer refused to settle
a suit against its insured and he later declared bankruptcy, the
insurer can't be sued for negligent failure to settle because
this claim isn't part of the bankruptcy estate, says a U.S.
Court of Appeals.
But where a real estate agent executed contracts for the sale of
15 properties before she filed under Chapter 7, the $38,800 in
commissions she earned is property of the bankruptcy estate -
even though some of the sales actually closed postpetition, says
a U.S. Bankruptcy Appellate Panel.

- Ohio Court Opens Door on Workers Comp Recoveries
Injured-Worker Compensation Limit Rejected
The
Columbus Dispatch
The Ohio Supreme Court struck down a state law yesterday
that barred injured employees from collecting both workers'
compensation benefits and money from civil lawsuits. The
decision was hailed by trial lawyers but blasted by business
leaders, who said it will drive up employers' insurance
premiums. Millions of dollars might have to be repaid to
hurt workers by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation
under the court's 4-3 decision, which eliminates the
so-called "subrogation statute".
- In a 125-page opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
D.C. Circuit has reversed a lower court's order that
Microsoft should be split into two companies to overcome
violations of U.S. antitrust law.
A copy of the appeals court's opinion is available from
Microsoft at
