Syllabus

Motion in limine Evid.R. 702 medical malpractice medical expert testimony proximate cause motion for summary judgment and Civ.R. 56. Where the plaintiff-appellant's medical expert's opinion was rendered with the requisite medical probability and sufficiently described proximate cause, the trial court abused its discretion when it granted defendants-appellees' motion in limine to exclude the medical expert's opinion testimony on causation. Where the plaintiff-appellant's medical expert testimony created genuine issues of material fact as to whether the defendants-appellees' acts were the proximate cause of the deceased's injuries and death, the trial court erred when it granted defendants-appellees' motion for summary judgment.
