Older Cases

1. Davis v. First Healthcare Corp., 234 Ga. App. 744 (1998). Reversed summary judgment for nursing home, finding that medical record produced by defendant was sufficiently "authenticated" to create a jury issue that precluded summary judgment.

Verdicts

1. Peacock v. HCP III Eastman, 230 Ga. App. 726 (1998). Verdict was reversed because trial court denied motion to produce all incident reports for a 26 month period. The reports were relevant, particularly in light of a claim for punitive damages because similar acts evidence might be admissible in both the liability and punitive damages phases of the trial and "could show [the home] had notice its employees were not properly supervising residents or that residents were finding a way out of the facility."
