]]> Through experts in geriatrics and critical care, Cheyanna established that the sacral wound was unavoidable due to this patients’ extensive co-morbidities and the need for life-saving critical care. It was also established that the patient’s infection and sepsis occurred after the patient was discharged from the hospital. Although plaintiff’s counsel attempted to defeat this showing by offering opinions from an expert in critical care, Cheyanna successfully convinced the Court in her Reply papers, and at oral argument, that the plaintiff’s expert was relying on factually incorrect misrepresentations of the record.

]]> The case involved allegations related to the development and progression of a pressure injury prior to and during the COVID-19 immunity period. The Court accepted Elizabeth’s argument, supported by expert opinion, that the wound was clinically unavoidable. The court also applied the immunity statute to the claims of malpractice during the COVID-19 immunity period. The plaintiff opposed the motion with affirmations from an expert and from the plaintiff, a nurse. The Court found that neither created an issue of fact. The decision resulted in dismissal of the case in its entirety.
