Linton v. Carter
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court in favor of Defendants in this personal injury case, holding that there was no error.
Arica Linton went into premature labor with her son, Nicholas, and an emergency cesarean section was performed. One year later, Nicholas was diagnosed with a white matter brain injury. Nicholas Linton brought this action against Defendants - healthcare providers - alleging that they failed to timely treat Arica, timely deliver Nicholas, timely perform a cesarean section, and diagnose and treat fetal distress. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Defendants. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in admitting an expert's alternative causation testimony.
