Lawyers on both sides said a “mutual misunderstanding” led to the suit filed last month by Dr. James Chappuis against a client who still owed $200,000 in medical bills after winning a personal injury verdict.
The complaint said Chappuis, founder and CEO of Orthopaedic & Spine Surgery of Atlanta, and his practice were stiffed for more than $200,000 for nearly two years of treatment for Shin Cho, who Chappuis also testified for at trial. He sued Cho as well as his attorneys, James Rice Jr. and Thomas Schaefer.
