Taylor v. Mobil Corp.

Holding

In each of these two appeals from a judgment against a negligent physician and his employer, the primary issue involves a statutory restriction on the plaintiffs’ tort recovery rights.

In summary, we will (1) affirm the judgment of the trial court denying the plea in bar and entering judgment on the jury’s finding of liability; (2) reverse the judgment insofar as it reduced the verdict to one million dollars; and (3) reinstate the original jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff for four million dollars with interest from the date of the verdict.
