Ind. Decisions - Court of Appeals issues 1 today (and 16 NFP)
For publication opinions today (1):
Querrey & Harrow, Ltd., et al. v. Transcontinental Insurance Company - Hoffman, Sr. Judge: "Defendants-Appellees raise numerous issues, which we consolidate as: I. Whether the trial court erred in holding that Indiana allows an excess insurer to bring an action for legal malpractice against an insured’s attorneys. II. Whether the trial court erred in holding there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether an attorney-client relationship existed between the insured’s attorneys and CNA. III. Whether CNA’s legal malpractice action was timely filed. * * * We remand with instructions that the trial court enter summary judgment for Querry and Sanders."
NFP civil opinions today (2):
Eric Luckhart and Nanette Luckhart v. Delaware County Division of Family & Children (NFP) - termination; affirmed.
Scott Ripple, et al. v. Mark Day (NFP) - Baker: "Appellant-defendant Scott Ripple, M.D. and Midwest Medical Management, Inc., d/b/a Healthcheck (Healthcheck) (collectively referred to as the appellants), appeal from a $900,000 judgment entered in favor of appellee-plaintiff Mark Day regarding his medical malpractice claim. Specifically, Healthcheck argues that the judgment must be set aside because the trial court erred in excluding evidence of Day’s methamphetamine use and drug treatment, that the trial court erred in denying Dr. Ripple’s motion to strike allegedly inadmissible medical opinions of a registered nurse, and that the trial court erred in refusing to give a proposed instruction regarding proximate cause. Concluding that the exclusion of evidence regarding Day’s prior drug usage was proper and finding no other error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court."
