The plaintiffs brought a medical negligence action against various doctors, nurses, and a hospital following a surgery to treat severe nerve damage sustained in a snowmobile accident.
The defendants moved for summary judgment to dismiss the action.
The plaintiffs failed to provide any admissible expert evidence to establish a breach of the standard of care or causation, whereas the defendants provided uncontradicted expert evidence supporting the care provided.
The court granted the summary judgment motions and dismissed the action against the moving defendants, finding no genuine issue requiring a trial.
