Justice Delivered Via FedEx: Case will now get its day in court
Jun 30, 2015OUTCOME: Reversed and remanded to trial court
The Tennessee Supreme Court issued a decision that allows our client’s case to proceed. It is a heartfelt victory that allows a client to have his day in court, seeking justice for his deceased wife. ... The case had been dismissed because the doctor and hospital received pre-suit notice by FedEx instead of the U.S. Postal Service, a technicality stemming from an amendment to the 2008 Medical Malpractice Act. Overturning this decision allows cases to proceed on merit and helps future cases avoid procedural landmines and costly, time-consuming appeals.
