Syllabus

Judgment reversed case remanded. The legal requirement for injury in a tort case is not demanding: \a plaintiff need only show some slight injury for the question of damages to go to the jury.\ Loudin v. Radiology & Imaging Servs., 128 Ohio St.3d 555, 2011-Ohio-1817, ¶ 19. It is inconsistent with the standard of review on summary judgment, where evidence must be construed in favor of the nonmoving party, to dismiss appellant's evidence of injury as being insufficient as a matter of law. In review, summary judgment was inappropriate as to all of the three claims set forth in the complaint, i.e., medical negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and loss of services and consortium.
