WHERE DEFENDANT DOCTOR, IN A MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ALLEGATIONS OF PROXIMATE CAUSE IN THE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE COMPLAINT, THE PLAINTIFF NEED NOT ADDRESS PROXIMATE CAUSE IN OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION.

The Second Department determined defendant surgeon's motion for summary judgment was properly denied. The court noted that the doctor's proof addressed only the alleged departure from good and accepted practice and did not address any of the proximate cause allegations. Therefore, the plaintiff, in opposition to summary judgment, need only address the departure from good and accepted practice to defeat the motion:

Here, the expert affirmation submitted by the defendant established, prima facie, that his treatment of the decedent did not depart from good and accepted medical practice. However, the defendant failed to make a prima facie showing that any alleged departure from the standard of care was not a proximate cause of the decedent's death … . Thus, in order to defeat the defendant's motion, the plaintiffs only had to raise a triable issue of fact regarding the issue of departure from good and accepted medical practice … . The competing expert affirmation submitted by the plaintiffs in opposition was sufficient to do so … . Uchitel v Fleischer, 2016 NY Slip Op 02075, 2nd Dept 3-23-16
