Wood v. Lynch

Annotate this Case
Justia Opinion Summary

In this case, the Supreme Court of Ohio reversed the judgment of the Tenth District Court of Appeals. The case involved an individual, acting both on their own behalf and as the administrator of an estate, who had brought a suit against several entities. However, the court provided no specific details about the facts of the case, the legal issues at hand, or the reasoning behind its decision. Instead, the court simply stated that its reversal was based on the authority of another case, Everhart v. Coshocton Cty. Mem. Hosp. Unfortunately, without more information about the Everhart case or the factual and legal context of the present case, a precise holding cannot be generated.
