Supreme Court of Alabama
Betty Collins v. Herring Chiropractic Center, LLC, and Ricardo Herring, D.c.
February 17, 2017237 So. 3d 867
Summary
The court reversed the summary judgment for the chiropractor and chiropractic center in a medical-malpractice action arising from a cold pack that allegedly caused blistering and scarring. It held that Collins did not need independent expert testimony because the alleged lack of care and causal connection were sufficiently apparent to a layperson. The case was remanded for further proceedings. Justice Bryan concurred in the result.
