Court Reviews A Jury Verdict in a Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death Action

PATTI ZAKOUR, DECEASED, BY NEXT OF KIN, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS NATURAL CHILDREN, NEXT FRIEND AND ON BEHALF OF ANY AND ALL WRONGFUL DEATH BENEFICIARIES OF PATTI ZAKOUR, DECEASED v. UT MEDICAL GROUP, INC. (Tenn. Ct. App. May 19, 2011)



The trial court granted Defendant's motion to set aside the judgment arising from a jury verdict in favor of Plaintiffs in this medical malpractice/wrongful death action. It also conditionally granted Defendant's alternative motion for a new trial. In light of Abshure v. Methodist Healthcare, we vacate the judgment and remand for further proceedings.
