Description
HOUSTON, JUSTICE: On July 27, 1981, Sandra McGee gave birth by cesarean section to a son, Bentley, who suffers from cerebral palsy. Thereafter,
Bentley's parents, Mark and Sandra McGee, brought suit on his behalf against Dr. Charles Bradford, who performed the cesarean
section, and Jackson County Hospital, alleging that they negligently departed from the appropriate standard of care and thereby
proximately caused Bentley's injuries. At trial, a jury heard testimony from several witnesses, including Dr. Bradford and
four experts, and returned a verdict for the McGees, awarding them $950,000 in compensatory damages. Dr. Bradford and Jackson
County Hospital moved for J.N.O.V. or, in the alternative, for a new trial. The trial court granted the hospital's J.N.O.V.
motion, and Dr. Bradford's new trial motion, but denied Dr. Bradford's J.N.O.V. Dr. Bradford appeals from the denial of his
J.N.O.V. motion, and the McGees cross-appeal from the granting of the new trial motion. 1 For the reasons discussed below,
we affirm the rulings on both motions and remand this cause for a new trial as to the claims against Dr. Bradford.
