Steven Luppold v. Susan Hanlon & Others

Summary

The court affirmed the $20 million medical-malpractice judgment against Hanlon and upheld the denial of her posttrial motions. It ruled that the trial judge properly excluded cross-examination concerning an inadequately supported high-low settlement agreement, correctly instructed the jury on but-for factual causation, properly allowed the verdict to stand, and correctly assessed prejudgment interest on the entire damages award.
