Delores Turner etc. v. Iowa Fire Equipment

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• following Heller in not requiring medical expert to cite published studies on general causation to establish reliability
• preventing a proposed expert from testifying because differential diagnosis sought to identify the condition and not the cause
• stating a medical causation expert can render a reliable opinion based on differential diagnosis and need not always cite published studies
• affirming exclusion of treating physician who made no effort whatsoever to address alternative causes and whose opinion did not satisfy Daubert for several other reasons
• rejecting plaintiffs’ attempt to bolster their expert’s causation opinion with materials corroborating it because the expert “simply did not rely upon those items in formulating his opinion”
• affirming the district court’s decision to strike the treating physician’s opinion and to grant summary judgment in favor of the defendants due to the lack of evidence of causation
