Creed & Gowdy Defeats Petition for Writ of Certiorari for Medical Malpractice Plaintiff

Creed & Gowdy represented a plaintiff in a medical malpractice case whose amended complaint included a count for corporate negligence.  The hospital defendant challenged the amendment because plaintiff did not provide presuit notice, with a corroborating expert affidavit, for the specific claim of corporate negligence.  Plaintiff had otherwise pre-suited the malpractice claim.  The First District Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's petition for writ of certiorari without opinion.  Briefing was done by Bryan Gowdy and Jennifer Richardson.  Jessie Harrell handled the oral argument.  Thanks to the speed of the decision in this case, the trial could proceed as scheduled.
