[quote=Anonymous]Here’s another example of the one sidedness:

The brother and family was devastated with the continuance. In reality, it was continued because the court of appeals was deciding if punitive damages could be awarded. The hospital said no, they lost and they appealed it. They knew an appeal was pending. They knew the court of appeals stayed (paused) the trial court’s trial pending the court of appeals decision on punitive damages. If they wanted no continuances and to have their day in court without a second more delay, then they could drop their request for punitive damages. Obviously they weren't going to do that. They portrayed it as having no idea at all that having it not go forward was the likely scenario. We heard the judge say he couldn’t do anything bc of the stay from the higher court. It was a dumb move on the family’s attorney part to even suggest going forward that day.

This was all trumped up and emotional for the show… bc there was no way for it to proceed unless the family agreed to drop punitive damages. And…they were right to not do so bc the court of appeals agreed with them and they CAN seek punitive damages. That increases their possible award by a lot.  [/quote]
