Jul 30, 2012 | News

Burns White Healthcare and Long-Term Care Member Stuart T. O’Neal and Associate Kara C. White recently had success in an evolving area of corporate negligence typically associated with institutional malfeasance allegations—medical malpractice.

Mr. O’Neal and Ms. White secured the dismissal of corporate liability claims in three medical malpractice matters against two of the firm’s hospital clients. In all three cases, they argued through dispositive motion practice that elements of the Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court opinion in Thompson v. Nason Hospital were not met.
