Noteworthy cases
After being named as defendants in a tort suit by Dolly McGill, Cochran-Sysco Foods and Sysco Corporation (hereinafter referred to jointly as “Sysco”) filed a cross claim against Jet Spray Corporation ("Jet Spray"), also a defendant in McGill’s suit, and a third party demand against Jet Spray's liability insurer, U.S. Fire Insurance Company ("U.S. Fire"). Sysco sought indemnification from Jet Spray and alleged a breach of contract due to Jet Spray's failure to maintain insurance naming Sysco as an additional insured. In its third party demand, Sysco alleged that the U.S. Fire policy provided coverage for it as to McGill’s claims. The trial court rejected both Sysco's cross claim and third party demand upon finding that Sysco, through the acts of its employee, was solely at fault in causing McGill’s injuries. Sysco appeals. For the reasons expressed, we affirm the trial court's judgment.[5]
- Willie Causey, Joe Cloman and Bernice Cloman v. St. Francis Medical Center and Dr. Herschel R. Harter, Individually and as a Medical Center
Believing it medically and ethically inappropriate, a physician and hospital withdrew life-sustaining care to a 31-year-old, quadriplegic, end-stage renal failure, comatose patient over the strongly expressed objections of the patient's family. As filed, this action was premised as an intentional battery-based tort. The trial court, however, found that defendants "acted in accordance with professional opinions and professional judgment" and thus this action was covered by the medical malpractice act which required that it first be presented to a medical review panel. Accordingly, the trial court dismissed the action as premature.[6]
