Play
 
Janet Hild, administrator of the estate of Scott Boldman v. Samaritan Health Partners et al., Case No. 2023-1076
Second District Court of Appeals (Montgomery County)

ISSUES:
- Does the "same-juror rule," established in a 1991 Supreme Court of Ohio decision, apply to juries considering negligence and causation in medical negligence lawsuits?
- What rule should be used for jurors in medical negligence cases to adhere to the Ohio Constitution's requirement that the verdict must be based on a three-fourths concurrence of the jury?
- To reverse a trial court if it guided the jury incorrectly, must the reviewing court find that the outcome of the case would have been different?
