Miriam Rivera v. the Valley Hospital, Inc. (085992/085993/085994) (Bergen County and Statewide)

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the plaintiffs failed to meet the clear‑and‑convincing evidence standard for actual malice or wanton and willful disregard, so partial summary judgment on the punitive damages claim should have been granted, and the trial court’s denial was reversed and remanded.
