How courts have described this case

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

  • “[T]he alleged malpractice was of a highly technical nature, and the case could therefore not be pursued without expert evidence.”
  • “Good cause under section 668.11 must be ‘more than an excuse, a plea, apology, extenuation, or some justification for the resulting effect.’” (citation omitted)
  • “[T]he problems surrounding medical liability, liability insurance, and the attendant availability and cost of medical services to the public are, at least arguably, rational reasons for the enactment of the expert witness designation requirements of section 668.11.”
