FEATURED CASE FILE: Marks v. Stevens

Significance: This case illustrates the proper technique for countering an opposing party’s expert witness. In this matter, the court issued a ruling that paved the way for the use of a textbook by defendants’ counsel to impeach the credibility of the plaintiff’s medical expert, eventually leading to a verdict for the defendants. In addition to this ruling, the case provides a salient display of the proper amount, and timing of, demonstrative evidence in a case involving a medical error. The matter is helpful to any attorney seeking to glean a further understanding of the process behind a typical medical malpractice matter, specifically with regard to “complication of the procedure” proceedings that are commonly rooted in surgery and emergency outpatient treatments. Finally, this case contains the attorney’s personal outline of his summation to the jury, as well as a fact chronology that was integral in understanding the timeline of the case.
