Experts’ Failure to Address Proximate Cause Precluded Summary Judgment

The defendants in a medical malpractice action were granted summary judgment finding that any departures from the standard of care were not the proximate cause of plaintiff’s injuries.  The Court of Appeals reversed because the defendants’ experts did not address proximate cause in their affidavits in support of the summary judgment motion.  The defendants therefore did not meet their burden on the issue of proximate cause. Orsi, et al, v Haralabatos, et al, 50, CtApp 3-26-13
