Ohio Supreme Court Rejects Attempt to Prosecute Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Without Expert Testimony
12/8/2011

Today the Ohio Supreme Court reversed a decision by the Tenth District Court of Appeals which had held that expert testimony was not required for lack of informed consent claims when such claims are brought in the context of a medical malpractice lawsuit. In its Opinion in White v. Leimbach, 2011-Ohio-6238, the Court held rather that such lack of informed consent claims are considered medical malpractice claims, and are not exempt from the requirement of expert testimony.

Attorneys Martin T. Galvin and Brian T. Gannon of Reminger Co., LPA were very pleased to have handled this appeal.
