Unfortunately, mistakes made during relatively low-risk medical procedures can cause devastating harm. Even in cases in which liability seems clear, however, defendants in medical malpractice cases will often deny that they caused the plaintiff to suffer harm and will seek dismissal via a motion for summary judgment.

The plaintiff moved to reargue the issue and clarify what matters would proceed to trial. The court granted the plaintiff\u2019s motion to reargue the issue, noting that it had inadvertently failed to recognize the fact that the plaintiff amended the bill of particulars to include claims regarding the negligent administration of anesthesia. As such, the court denied the defendant\u2019s motion as it related to the claims arising out of the negligent administration of anesthesia. The defendant then appealed.
