I sold a house to a lawyer 11 years ago and did full disclosure, like sliding door doesn't lock use stick. The home inspection said "Sliding door doesn't lock" the final walk through same thing. First thing on the lawsuit was "Sliding door doesn't lock" I had 20+ items that I disclosed, paid for in escrow or we ageed in writing to disagree, he sued me for everyone. Went for a summary judgement, and the Judge said those were matters of fact for the jury to decide, not matters of law, like did the POS miss a statute of limitations. $30K later in lawyers bills and expert witnesses I settled. I think a Grand Jury type of pre-trial thing is appropriate. I'm sure I could have convinced a simple majority that I had dealt fair and honestly and not allow it to proceed to trial. I have zero respect for the civil justice system in this country. That said, I think this poor women has a big case. Going to the hospital and delivering a baby there should be zero expectation of coming out a quadruple amputee.

You didn't counter sue for breach of contract? He'd have had to settle.
