Partners Robert M. Schartz and Julie R. Lehan successfully defended a summary judgment obtained for an Omaha Hospital and physician in an appellate case before the Nebraska Supreme Court.

Following the Plaintiff’s failure to timely disclose an expert medical witness in Douglas County District Court, the case was dismissed after years-long progression in the trial court. The Plaintiff appealed the case to the Nebraska Court of Appeals who reversed the District Court’s order. However, the appellate team at Abrahams Kaslow & Cassman then petitioned the Nebraska Supreme Court for further review. Upon further briefing and oral argument before the Nebraska Supreme Court, the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Court of Appeals and remanded the case to the District Court with orders to adhere to the original judgment to dismiss the case in favor of the Omaha Hospital and the physician.
