VENTURA, Calif. (Legal Newsline) – A $30 million verdict in noneconomic damages is a miscarriage of justice, a California appeals court has ruled.
The Second Appellate District’s Jan. 20 decision vacates the verdict and sends the lawsuit over a fatal car accident back to Ventura County Superior Court for a new trial limited to determining a new amount.
The trial court erred when it excluded evidence of the comparative fault of defendants that settled before trial.
“(N)o substantial evidence appears to support the amount of the damages award, an amount that shocks the conscience and appears to have been influenced by the misconduct and improper argument of respondents’ counsel,” Justice Kenneth Yegan wrote.

OXNARD, Calif. - The Ventura County Acting District Attorney Cheryl M. Temple announced Thursday that an Oxnard plastic surgeon was arraigned for 22 additional felony counts of sexual assault that were allegedly committed at his private practice.
Dr. David Michelson, 73, of Newbury Park previously faced a 15-count complaint that was filed in July 2020 and named one of his patients as a victim.
As a result of news attention generated by that complaint, the Oxnard Police Department and the District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation received numerous calls from other women who claimed to also be victims of Michelson.
