Shuman McCuskey Slicer PLLC Attorneys Obtain Dismissal of a Medical Professional Liability Claim in Circuit Court
SMS Founding Member David L. Shuman and Member Roberta F. Green successfully defended a circuit court’s dismissal of a medical professional liability claim arising from an alleged birth injury. The SMS lawyers defeated the claim on statute of limitations and constitutional grounds, all of which went to West Virginia’s Supreme Court on two motions practices. Finally, the claim was defeated, and West Virginia’s Medical Professional Liability Act (MPLA) remains in place and intact.
