Case Synopsis

The Nevada Court of Appeals found a jury verdict problematic in a medical malpractice case when the trial court incorrectly restricted the use of videotaped deposition testimony, violated the collateral source rule, and allowed testimony beyond the permitted scope. The issue in this case was whether Dr. Watson’s actions during an operation met the standard of care for medical professionals. However, the central issue in this case was whether multiple trial errors led to an improper verdict in favor of Dr. Watson. In reversing and remanding the case, the Nevada Court of Appeals held that a combination of errors during trial could have prejudiced the plaintiff and necessitated reconsideration.
