Gonzalez v. Smith, A-3011-10T2

Feb 27, 2012

OUTCOME: Appeal decided in my favor

I, along with Mike Raff of this firm, represented the plaintiff at a jury trial where we argued that our client was permanently injured in a car accident. The jury agreed and rendered a verdict in our ... favor. The defense appealed, arguing that our expert should not have been allowed to testify that the client was permanently injured, nor should he have been allowed to read the MRI films at trial, and without that evidence the case should be dismissed. I argued the case before the Appellate Division, which disagreed with the defense and held that the defense was clearly on notice that our expert was going to testify that the client was permanently injured and that our expert was qualified to read MRI films. The Appellate Division agreed with us that it was not necessary for our expert to author a formal narrative report as a prerequisite to testifying, especially since he was our client's treating doctor and authored years-worth of medical records, which were provided to the defense well in advance of the trial.
