The Georgia Supreme Court gave a nod Monday to the power of the trial judge and jury.
Georgia’s high court reversed its intermediate appellate court Monday over the legal standard for reviewing a medical malpractice case that began with what the patient described as the worst headache of her life. That headache 7½ years ago led to catastrophic injuries resulting from an undiagnosed ruptured brain aneurysm. Lawyers have been fighting ever since over the damages. The Georgia Supreme Court sent the case back to the Georgia Court of Appeals for another look.
