BALTIMORE LEAD DEFENSE COUNSEL UPDATE ON LEAD CASE EXPERT TESTIMONY : THREE (3) 2013 CASES

www.charlesjeromeware.com.  " Here to make a difference."

In 2013  Maryland's highest court, the Maryland Court of Appeals, remanded back to the Baltimore City Circuit Court  3 cases regarding the issue,  inter alia, of whether the evidence about where lead paint exposure comes from can be proven without expert testimony. The Court ruled that in some cases it can.


The  3  cases are:


       Cherie Ross v. Housing Authority of Baltimore, Case Number 10, Md. Court of Appeals, March 22, 2013;
       Roderiques Sawyers , et al. v. Benno Lebovits, Case Number 7, Md. Court of Appeals, April 22, 2013;      and
       Antwon Wallace v. City Homes, Inc., Case Number 6, Md. Court of Appeals,  April 22, 2013.


In   Ross  the Court explained its decisions in these case as follows:
                
                         Unlike the bullet or the misplaced banana peel, the effect of toxic substances on the body is often subtle and slow, leaving cause uncertain.  This gap of understanding is often bridged through science, probability, and inference from provable facts.  As a result, expert testimony has become central to toxic tort litigation. But not every inference is provable in court by expert opinion testimony.  Nor need be.
