The Pennsylvania Superior Court has upheld an order granting a new trial in a lawsuit against Einstein Medical Center after the jury found that its care of a surgical patient was negligent, but not the cause of her injury.

A three-judge panel consisting of Judges Mary Jane Bowes, Judith Olson and Kate Ford-Elliott denied Einstein’s request to vacate a Philadelphia judge’s grant of a new trial in favor of plaintiff Colleen Boyle, who was injured while recovering from knee surgery at Einstein.
