Supreme Court of Delaware
Amanda M. Norman, Plaintiff Below, Appellant v. All About Women, P.a., a Delaware Corporation and Christine W…
August 21, 2018193 A.3d 726
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the exclusion of the plaintiff's medical expert and the resulting summary judgment for the defendants. It held that the trial court misinterpreted the requirement that expert opinions be based on information reasonably relied upon by experts, because that requirement concerns the reliability of the underlying facts or data rather than a need for medical literature or peer-reviewed publications. The court concluded that the expert's testimony, considered as a whole, adequately addressed the applicable standards of care and alleged deviations. The opinion contains no separate writings.
