The legal malpractice suit filed against the Nexsen Pruett law firm, by Tuomey Healthcare System will not be going to federal court - but instead to a likely jury trial in Sumter.
The hospital, now operating as Palmetto Health Tuomey, is asking for $117-million in damages for the legal havoc they say was caused by the advice of Nexsen Pruett.
The law firm represented the healthcare provider in a federal lawsuit ruling that went against the hospital two years ago.
