The Georgia Supreme Court is currently deciding a very interesting case that could have far reaching implications for Plaintiff’s. In the case involving a medical malpractice birth injury case, the young plaintiff who has cerebral palsy was barred from attending portions of her trial because the trial judge ruled her condition could cause the jury to improper sympathize with her thus cloudy there judgment. As an atlanta car accident lawyer, how the court decides could open the door for more and more challenges to plaintiff’s who have devastating injuries to be able to attend their own trials. One can imagine such a ruling applying to plaintiffs with lost limbs or horrible scarring. Where would the line be drawn.
