Mealey's (November 12, 2018, 10:38 AM EST) -- SAN ANTONIO — A Texas appeals panel on Nov. 7 affirmed the majority of a $11,940,000 verdict in favor of an elderly man, rejecting a skilled nursing facility’s argument that the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the jury's finding that its negligence was a proximate cause of the man’s permanent injuries (Regent Care Center of San Antonio v. Robert H. Detrick, et al., No. 04-17-00596-CV, Texas App., 4th Dist., 2018 Tex. App. LEXIS 9108)....
