- Pollo Operations, Inc. v. Tripp, 906 So2d 1101 (Fla. CTA 3rd 2005), Medicare Secondary Payer
- Diversicare Gen. Partner, Inc. v. Rubio, 185 S.W.3d 842 (Tex. 2005), Sexual Assault
- 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.
- 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."
