Medical Futility Jury Trial Begins against Hospital that Stopped Life Support without Consent

It is rare for any medical malpractice case to reach a jury. Most are settled or dismissed at earlier stages of litigation.  It is even rarer for a medical futility case to reach a jury. But that is happening this month in Milford, Connecticut (Marsala v. Yale-New Haven Hospital, No. AAN-CV12-6010861-S).

Judging by the pretrial motions in limine (to keep evidence from the jury), this could be very interesting.  

• Motion to Preclude Evidence and Argument re Alleged Financial Incentive Concerning Care 


• Motion re: DNR Patient Transfer Regulation 


• Motion to Preclude Evidence or Argument re Punitive Damages or Attorneys' Fees 


• Motion to Preclude Reference to Murder, Euthanasia, and Killing 


• Motion re Defendant's Financial Incentive to Remove Life Support
