Bederson v. United States

2 Citing cases

  1. Bajorek-Delator v. United States

    No. 17-10570 (E.D. Mich. Mar. 15, 2021)

    There is no basis for TPD Ullah's argument that a concurrent bench and jury trial would prevent him from making an effective case to the jury. See Bederson v United States, 935 F. Supp. 2d 48, 51 (D.D.C. 2013)(jury verdict in favor of private physician where "Court heard evidence on the plaintiff's claim against the government defendant concurrently with a jury trial on the negligence claim against the private physician"). In contrast to the present case, the plaintiff in Benderson brought first-party claims against both the U.S. and the private physician.

  2. Williams v. U.S. Dep't of Veterans Affairs

    No. 16-cv-2062 (EGS) (D.D.C. Mar. 20, 2020)

    In general, "the applicable standard of care for all health care professionals and facilities is the 'course of action that a reasonably prudent doctor with the defendant's specialty would have taken under the same or similar circumstances.'" Bederson v. United States, 935 F. Supp. 2d 48, 74 (D.D.C. 2013) (quoting Strickland, 899 A.2d at 773); see also Travers, 672 A.2d at 568 ("The personal opinion of the testifying expert as to what he or she would do in a particular case . . . is insufficient to prove the applicable standard of care.").
