1. SKINNER V. TRIDENT MEDICAL CENTER, LLC. The dispute in this Berkeley County case arose when an office manager at the medical facility where the plaintiff used to work accused him of stealing equipment and sabotaging the office. Once those allegations spread in the community, the plaintiff found it impossible to find work as a doctor. The jury awarded the doctor $30 million on his defamation claim - including $10 million in punitive damages. The plaintiff also pressed a conversion claim over a patient list the hospital failed to return to him. The jury awarded $250,000 on that claim. (Defamation/Conversion). - South Carolina
