“The Nevada Supreme Court recently reversed a jury verdict for $3.3 million against two lawyers for alleged malpractice in their representation of a quadriplegic man.” Attorneys W. Randall Mainor and Richard Harris (see “Crumbs from the Table”, Feb. 8-10, 2002) had settled Jason Nault’s medical malpractice claim for $17 million, of which only $2.5 million went to Nault himself, the rest going to “his wife, whom he has since divorced, the lawyers [who got $6.8 million] and the couple’s daughter.” The high court “concluded that the evidence didn’t support the damages.” (”In Brief”, National Law Journal, Dec. 13, not online as free link).
