Horton v. OHSU, Janet Schroer Helps Secure Supreme Court Victory for OHSU
The Oregon Supreme Court upheld an Oregon law stating that there will be a $3 million cap on damages that plaintiffs can receive in lawsuits against the state or its employees. Janet Schroer was instrumental in this decision which affects all public bodies and all caps on damages. Portland Tribune states that this case has been “closely followed” by trial lawyers, the Oregon Medical Association and public entities in Oregon. This was a huge victory for Janet and her client.
