Representative Matters

Morgan has confidentially settled multiple lawsuits involving medical malpractice allegations which cannot be publicly disclosed.

Wisconsin Court of Appeals Rules Statute Shielding Health Care Providers Is Unconstitutional: The Wisconsin First District Court of Appeals ruled that Wisconsin Statute 895.4801, which granted health care providers immunity from malpractice claims during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, is unconstitutional. The decision stems from a lawsuit filed by Robins Kaplan LLP, on behalf of a client against a hospital and two providers alleging medical malpractice, wrongful death, and negligent infliction of emotional distress, following the death of the client’s newborn baby. The hospital argued that the statue shielded them from liability and a Milwaukee Circuit Court originally ruled in the hospital’s favor, prompting Robins Kaplan to appeal the case. Attorney Morgan Voight argued the statute violated certain constitutional rights for the client, including the right to a jury trial. On Feb. 11, 2025 the Court of Appeals agreed, adding in their decision “while we acknowledge that the health care system faced unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘[t]here is no pandemic exception to the fundamental liberties the [c]onstitution safeguards.’ Indeed, ‘individual rights secured by the [c]onstitution do not disappear during a public health crisis.’”
