Oglesby v. Baltimore School Associates

Summary

The Court held that the circuit court abused its discretion by excluding the plaintiff’s causation expert because it resolved disputed factual issues that belonged to the jury and because the expert had an adequate factual basis for linking the property to the plaintiff’s lead exposure and injuries other than IQ loss. The Court remanded for consideration of whether the methodology supporting the expert’s specific IQ-loss opinion was sufficiently reliable. Because the exclusion of the expert’s testimony improperly supported summary judgment, the Court reversed and remanded.
