De Becker v. Uhs of Del., Inc.

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of the de Beckers' medical-malpractice action. It held that the claims were professional-negligence claims requiring an expert affidavit, that the affidavit was insufficient as to the defendant doctors and could not be amended, and that although sufficient as to the hospital, the hospital claim was preempted by the PREP Act because it alleged failure to obtain consent before administering remdesivir. No separate opinions were filed.
