Georgia Court of Appeals reverses summary judgment in Dilantin extravasation malpractice case. The Court of Appeals of Georgia reversed summary judgment for Emory Healthcare, holding that conflicting testimony about which IV site was used and expert testimony based on differential diagnosis created jury questions in a Dilantin extravasation case. Georgia Court of Appeals dismisses COVID-era malpractice claim for insufficient gross-negligence allegations. The Court of Appeals of Georgia reversed denial of a hospital's motion to dismiss, holding that allegations of a 12-hour failure to restart Heparin during a COVID-19 admission did not plead gross negligence under the Georgia COVID-19 Pandemic Business Safety Act. Supreme Court of Georgia: the medical malpractice damages cap cannot touch a verdict that also includes pain-and-suffering damages a jury was entitled to award. Reaffirming Nestlehutt under stare decisis, the Supreme Court held that OCGA § 51-13-1's $350,000 noneconomic damages cap cannot be applied at all to a verdict that includes constitutionally protected noneconomic damages — here, the estate's pre-death pain and suffering. Because the statute lumps every claimant's noneconomic damages into one capped sum and offers no way to carve a verdict apart, the Court vacated an order that had cut a $29,250,000 wrongful death award to $350,000. It expressly reserved whether the cap could reach a stand-alone wrongful death award.
