Notable Cases

Proven Results

2022

U.S. Court of Appeals, First Circuit

Martinez v. United States

33 F.4th 20 (1st Cir. 2022) · April 29, 2022

The First Circuit held that the district court abused its discretion by excluding the plaintiffs' medical expert as a discovery sanction. The court found the expert sufficiently established applicable standards of care, adequately explained the patient's conditions and medications, and that qualified uncertainty about a causation finding did not render the expert's opinion unreliable.

The court allowed key expert testimony supporting the client's medical negligence claim.

2022

U.S. Court of Appeals, First Circuit

Maldonado-Cabrera v. Anglero-Alfaro et al.

23 F.4th 523 (1st Cir. 2022) · February 25, 2022

A medical malpractice wrongful death action in which the district court dismissed under the "prior pending action" doctrine due to a parallel state court proceeding. The First Circuit vacated and remanded, holding that Colorado River abstention — not the prior pending action doctrine — was the correct framework, and that the standard of review was abuse of discretion.

The court clarified the legal framework and allowed the client’s claim to proceed.

2022

Tribunal Supremo de Puerto Rico

Aleicha Cruz Flores et al. v. Hospital Ryder Memorial et al.

2022 TSPR 112 · September 2, 2022

The Puerto Rico Supreme Court addressed the duty of hospitals to formulate, adopt, and enforce institutional policies ensuring patient health and welfare, as required by accepted standards of medical practice. The decision established that hospitals bear direct institutional accountability for the policies governing patient care.

The decision confirmed that hospitals can be held accountable for failures in institutional patient care policies.
