Lynda Danhoff v. Daniel K Fahim Md

Summary

The Michigan Supreme Court held that the trial court improperly excluded the plaintiff's standard-of-care expert primarily because the opinion lacked supporting medical literature. Published literature is relevant to reliability but is not categorically required, and the trial court must consider the full set of applicable reliability factors before ruling on admissibility. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for a renewed reliability determination under the governing evidence rule and statutes.
