Alexandra Rodriguez, Plaintiff-Respondent/cross-Appellant v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., And/or Wal-Mart Stores East, Lp…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that trial courts may admit medical expert testimony using the terms "somatization" and "symptom magnification" after a case‑specific relevance analysis, affirmed the admission of the plaintiff's prior medical history, and found the defendant's neurologist qualified to testify on those concepts, thereby reinstating the jury's verdict of no cause of action.
