Description
As these two cases originated from one trial and as many of the factual and legal issues apply in both cases, we have consolidated the two cases for purposes of this opinion. Appellant Jackson Hospital ("JH") challenges the jury verdict finding it liable for the reckless disregard of one of its emergency room physicians. JH raises two issues on appeal. JH argues that the trial court erred in failing to grant its motions for directed verdict, motion for new trial, and motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict as the evidence presented at trial was legally insufficient to prove both reckless disregard and causation. In viewing the facts in the light most favorable to appellees, Darlene Aldrich and Michael Coniglio ("appellees"), the co-representatives of the estate of William E. Roddenberry ("Roddenberry"), we conclude that the trial court erred in denying JH's motions for directed verdict and motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. We, therefore, reverse and remand for entry of judgment in favor of JH. We affirm JH's other argument on appeal without further discussion.
