ARGUMENT

DEFENDANTS’ CONTENTION THAT PLAINTIFF'S EXPERT MUST BE EXCLUDED BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE HE RELIED UPON IN FORMING HIS OPINIONS LACKS FOUNDATION IS INCORRECT MISLEADING AND WITHOUT MERIT

Dr. Hill is plaintiff's standard of care expert and has clearly demonstrated his expertise, and is qualified to express his opinion in the area of chiropractic care. Dr. Hill's testimony rests upon a review of plaintiff's medical records from defendants' facility and chiropractors therein, and an MRI report ordered by the Defendant/Defendant facility, from XYZ Radiology of Sacramento, dated July 28, 2007, of Plaintiff's right knee. Dr. Hill also had an understanding of plaintiff's version of how the event occurred as recited to him by Plaintiff's attorney, co-counsel, Navid White, who read those portions of plaintiff's deposition wherein she described how the subject event occurred.
Dr. Hill testified in his deposition as to the records he reviewed and relied upon in forming his opinions. Specifically, at his deposition:

1. Dr. Hill had a stack of records in front of him which consisted of the XYZ Radiology report from Sacramento Imaging, and the records from Defendant's facility, Universal Chiropractic. Dr. Hill reviewed these records in anticipation of his deposition.

Woman's Knee Damaged By Sacramento Chiropractor In Medical Malpractice Suit, Part 2 of 7

It is worth noting that situations similar to those described in this medical malpractice case could just as easily occur at any of the healthcare facilities in the area, such as Kaiser Permanente, UC Davis Medical Center, Mercy, Methodist, or Sutter.

(Please also note: the names and locations of all parties have been changed to protect the confidentiality of the participants in this personal injury lawsuit and its proceedings.)

FACTS

Plaintiff originally presented to defendants' facility for chiropractic adjustment and treatment. Upon evaluation by another chiropractor in defendant's office, it was found that plaintiff had tenderness in and around her right knee. On May 25, 2010, after the first chiropractor believed she was unable to perform a manipulation of plaintiff's left hip she summoned defendant for his assistance.

Plaintiff alleges that defendant performed and/or attempted to perform a chiropractic manipulation on plaintiff's left hip, which coincidently involved the use of plaintiff's right knee. Plaintiff alleges that when defendant was preparing to perform the manipulation, and while he had his hand on plaintiff's right knee, plaintiff experienced a great deal of pain and discomfort in her right knee and asked defendant to not perform the manipulation. Plaintiff alleges that defendant went ahead and performed the manipulation anyway, delivering a great amount of force to her right knee, which caused tearing of the meniscus in her right knee.
