Jamie Winokur (Partner-Charlotte, NC) and Peter Clements (Associate-Charlotte, NC) secured summary judgment on behalf of a rehabilitation facility in a medical malpractice case in North Carolina Superior Court. The plaintiff sought damages for injuries allegedly resulting from negligent post-surgical wound care, including claims of lasting harm and a resulting below-the-knee amputation. Central to the plaintiff’s case were expert witnesses intended to establish the standard of care and causation. Jamie and Peter moved to exclude these experts in a prior motion hearing, and with no admissible expert testimony to support essential elements of the plaintiff’s claims, the court granted summary judgment for our client just before trial, dismissing the case in its entirety.
