Mary Jaye Hall and Wilbert Vancol won an appeal at the Fifth District Court of Appeal on March 29, 2018. The underlying case, which was also handled by our firm, involved claims of negligence in the management of a complex hematologic condition. After a two- week trial, Ms. Hall and Tom Dukes, on April 8, 2016, received a defense verdict in favor of a doctor and Cape Canaveral Hospital. The trial judge subsequently granted the plaintiff’s motion for new trial. On appeal, Ms. Hall and Mr. Vancol challenged the propriety of the trial court’s order. After considering the written briefs submitted by the parties and the legal and factual points raised at oral argument, the appellate court reversed the trial judge’s order and reinstated the jury verdict in favor of our clients.
