Description
¶1 Elizabeth Chobanian appeals from a judgment entered on a jury verdict in her negligence action against Meriter Hospital, Dr. Catherine James, and Dr. JoDee Brandon following the birth of her son at Meriter Hospital. Chobanian argues that the trial court erred in (1) denying Chobanian's motion for a new trial because the jury findings were contrary to the evidence; (2) denying her motion for a new trial in the interest of justice because the real controversy was not fully tried when the trial court bifurcated Chobanian's direct liability claim against Meriter for negligently monitoring the competence of its nurses from her vicarious liability claim against Meriter for the negligence of its nurses; (3) excluding testimony regarding Meriter's policies and procedures because it was relevant to the issue of causal negligence; (4) submitting an instruction and verdict question on Chobanian's contributory negligence because it was not supported by the evidence; (5) refusing to allow cross-examination of Dr. James on causation because Dr. James was an expert witness and did not have a privilege to refuse to testify on that topic; and (6) refusing to allow the jury to hear evidence relevant to spoliation based on destroyed original copies and late entries and alterations in the medical records.
