Morris v. Universal Health Services
Plaintiff Birgitt Morris[1]appeals judgment entered in favor of defendant Universal Health Services of Rancho Springs, Inc. dba Southwest Healthcare System Inland Valley Medical Center (Hospital). Judgment was entered after the trial court granted Hospitals motion for summary judgment, in which Hospital argued plaintiffs medical malpractice action had no merit as a matter of law. Plaintiff contends she refuted Hospitals summary judgment motion by establishing that Hospital committed numerous violations of the standard of care for hospitals and that the violations resulted in delayed treatment of a nosocomial infection that caused plaintiff to become incontinent. Court conclude summary judgment was properly granted due to plaintiff failing to raise a material triable issue of fact, and affirm the judgment.
