Legal Victory: Leveraging the Medical Malpractice Proceeding Act of 2006 to Dismiss Meritless Claims

Crystal Deese and Miranda Ross successfully obtained a dismissal for their local hospital client accused of baseless medical malpractice, discrimination, conversion, and assault. Utilizing the Medical Malpractice Proceedings Act, we acted swiftly to shut down this meritless lawsuit before it could result in unnecessary litigation costs. We strategically filed a Motion to Dismiss, which was ruled on before appearing for oral argument or an initial status conference. Our background investigation of plaintiff uncovered a pattern of meritless lawsuits filed against various individuals and entities.  We cited these in our Motion and believe this contributed to the quick, favorable ruling. 

This case exemplifies that the Medical Malpractice Proceedings Act remains a powerful tool for health care providers facing frivolous litigation.  Rather than engaging in prolonged  defense efforts, our efficient approach allowed our client to avoid significant expenses and burdens typically associated with defending against meritless claims.
