Supreme Court of Colorado
The Estate of Catherine Ford, Petitioner v. Danny J. Eicher, M.d. and Consultants in Obstetrics and Gynecology…
March 21, 2011250 P.3d 262
Summary
The court held that the trial court used the wrong admissibility standard by requiring medical experts to express causation opinions to a reasonable medical probability before conducting an evidence-rule analysis. Applying the governing reliability and relevance framework, the court determined that both experts' opinions concerning intrauterine forces were admissible. The court therefore affirmed the court of appeals' decision requiring a new trial.
