Case Dismissed: Pinellas County, Florida (Medical Malpractice)

We represented a surgical center in this case, which involved a patient who treated with an outside physician and then agreed to have a spinal surgery performed at our surgery center upon the recommendation of her physician. The outside physician was not employed by or supervised by our surgery center. He was a third party who had surgical privileges at that location and also had a small ownership interest in the center.

Following Plaintiffs’ depositions, which were handled by Ms. Koford, Ms. Reiter prepared a Motion for Summary Judgment outlining the reasons the surgery center had no vicarious liability in this situation. Upon review of the motion, but before a hearing on the matter took place, Plaintiff’s counsel agreed to voluntarily dismiss the case against our client with prejudice.

Congratulations, Nichole and Alyssa. The client was very happy with this excellent outcome.
