Doctor awarded $5 million 328

Premises Liability is another area of San Diego Personal Injury Law.

The Supreme Court has stood by a decision that awarded a California doctor $5 million in punitive damages. The doctor had sued Lawnwood Medical Center after a hospital executive said “he would not send his dog to the doctor for surgery.” The medical center argued the award was excessive, but the decision was upheld.  San Diego personal injury attorney Jesse J.
