Syllabus

Summary judgment motion for directed verdict Civ.R. 56 Civ.R. 50 de novo negligence proximate cause causal connection common knowledge opening statement. Judgment affirmed. The trial court properly denied Pietrangelo's motion for summary judgment because disputed facts, including prior injuries, precluded summary judgment and Pietrangelo failed to support his claim with any expert opinions. The trial court properly granted Hudson's motion for directed verdict. Pietrangelo was unable to sustain his negligence action because his injuries required expert testimony to show proximate cause and he could not present any expert medical testimony with respect to this issue.
