Attorneys Barbacane, O’Neal & Tanker Secure Dismissal of Hospital in Luzerne County

Feb 20, 2023 | News

Attorneys Courtney Barbacane, Stuart O’Neal, and Marcy Tanker secured dismissal of a Luzerne County Hospital three weeks prior to trial, after Plaintiff’s causation expert was precluded from offering any testimony critical of the health system. After attorneys for the hospital created a defense strategy, Plaintiff could not counter when trying to meet her burden of proof. As a result, Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the hospital but will proceed to trial in several weeks against the remaining defendants.
