Plaintiff claimed that a bedroom ceiling collapsed onto her head and torso while she was sleeping in an apartment bedroom that she was subleasing. She alleged life-altering injuries, including the need for a cervical fusion and surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. Plaintiff’s demand exceeded $3 million, although no clear settlement demand was ever conveyed.

GLRR Partner Dom Gallardo and Associate Dan Grabowski presented eyewitness testimony establishing that the ceiling did not strike the plaintiff, along with biomechanical evidence demonstrating that the claimed injuries could not have occurred from the ceiling collapse as described.

No settlement offers were made based on the evidence that the ceiling never struck the plaintiff.

The first question on the special verdict sheet asked: “Did any portion of the bedroom ceiling in the apartment strike the plaintiff on the day of the accident?”

The jury answered: “No.”]]></content>

The plaintiff alleged that the decedent developed pressure wounds to his left heel, left buttock and sacrum due to inadequate care. GLRR moved for summary judgment and established that the left above-the-knee amputation due to progression of the left heel pressure wound was attributable to the decedent’s underlying peripheral vascular disease rather than any alleged departure; the left buttock wound resolved with appropriate treatment; the sacral pressure wound, although it progressed to stage 4 and required hospitalization and debridement due to infection, was clinically unavoidable; and that the decedent’s death was due to an acute gastrointestinal bleed unrelated to any alleged act or inaction on the part of the nursing home. In opposition, the plaintiff submitted an expert affidavit, which GLRR successfully argued was speculative and conclusory because it failed to establish a causal nexus between any alleged departures and the claimed injuries. The Court granted summary judgment dismissing the Complaint in its entirety. In doing so, the Court held that the nursing home was entitled to EDTPA immunity for a portion of the decedent’s residency from March 7, 2020 to May 15, 2020 and further found that the nursing home complied with the applicable standards of care and exercised all care reasonably necessary to prevent and limit injury to the decedent. This case was handled by Partner, Michele R. Levin and Of Counsel, Richard Fedrow.]]></content>

[nap_names id="FIRM-NAME-4"] moved for summary judgment dismissal of plaintiff’s claims against its client. In support of its motion, [nap_names id="FIRM-NAME-4"] proffered the affidavit of the MRI Technologist who performed the subject MRI. The MRI Technologist does not remember plaintiff as plaintiff did not report an incident. Therefore, in the Affidavit, the MRI technologist averred as to the usual custom and practice that he would have used in performing the MRI – the same custom and practice he has utilized in performing MRIs on seven to thirteen patients per day for nineteen years. The lower court granted [nap_names id="FIRM-NAME-4"]' client partial summary judgment dismissing plaintiff’s claims based on negligent credentialing/supervision and lack of informed consent but denied its request for dismissal of plaintiff’s medical malpractice claim. In reaching its decision, the lower court found the MRI Technologist’s Affidavit outlining his custom and practice in performing MRIs insufficient to make out a prima facie case and that he did not qualify as an expert.

On appeal, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division: Second Judicial Department (the “Second Department”) reversed the lower court’s decision and granted [nap_names id="FIRM-NAME-4"]' client summary judgment dismissing plaintiff’s medical malpractice cause of action against it. In reaching its decision, the Second Department agreed with [nap_names id="FIRM-NAME-4"]' arguments that: (1) the MRI Technologist’s custom and practice in performing MRIs outlined in his Affidavit was sufficient to permit the inference that he followed the same procedure when performing the subject MRI; and (2) his Affidavit sufficiently demonstrates that he possesses the requisite knowledge and experience to render an expert opinion as to the proper operation of the subject MRI machine. The case was handled by [nap_names id="FIRM-NAME-4"] Partners Christopher T. Rogers and Renton D. Persaud.]]></content>
