If one party\u2019s expert report is found lacking, the court may enter judgment in favor of the other party. If both expert reports are supported by facts and evidence but conflict, however, it is likely that the case will have to proceed to trial, as illustrated in a recent New York <a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/new-york\/appellate-division-second-department\/2024\/2020-05505.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ruling<\/a>. If you were injured by a negligent physician, it is important to understand your rights, and you should speak with a Syracuse medical malpractice attorney at your earliest convenience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Case Setting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is alleged that the plaintiff received treatment from the defendant, a physician, at a hospital owned by the defendant healthcare company between September 2015 and May 2016. In October 2015, the defendant physician performed cataract removal surgery on the plaintiff&#8217;s right eye. Following the surgery, the plaintiff initiated legal action against the defendants, alleging medical malpractice, among other claims.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is reported that the defendants sought summary judgment to dismiss the complaint, arguing that there was no departure from accepted medical practices or that any alleged deviation was not the proximate cause of the plaintiff\u2019s injuries. The trial court denied the defendants\u2019 motion for summary judgment concerning the medical malpractice claim. The defendants then filed an appeal. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/new-york-court-discusses-conflicting-expert-reports-in-medical-malpractice-cases\/#more-3647\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In medical malpractice cases, both parties will usually set forth expert affidavits in support of their respective positions.
