Case No.: 2015AP356
Officials: Kloppenburg, P.J., Lundsten and Blanchard, JJ
Focus: Court Error – Discovery Sanctions – Special Verdict
Taylor Peterson appeals the circuit court’s judgment entered after a jury rejected Peterson’s informed consent (medical malpractice) claim against Dr. Elizabeth Ault Brinker and Gundersen Clinic Professional Liability Insurance Plan (Gundersen Insurance). Peterson seeks a new trial for two reasons. She argues that the circuit court erred in the special verdict form and in excluding certain deposition testimony.
