The defendant insurer brought a motion to compel the production of academic, psychoeducational, and treatment records of a plaintiff's sibling for a neuropsychological evaluation concerning causation, specifically genetic vulnerability.
The plaintiffs opposed, arguing the documents were irrelevant and the expert's need was not properly established.
The court granted the motion, finding the documents relevant and necessary for an informed expert opinion, distinguishing the plaintiffs' cited case, and noting the plaintiffs' own expert acknowledged potential genetic vulnerability.
