Description

Louise Stumph appeals from summary judgment entered against her in a malpractice action against chiropractor, R. W. Foster, claiming that during treatment for migraine headaches he negligently broke her rib. The trial court concluded that Stumph failed to make out a prima facie case by failing to present expert testimony establishing the standard of care. Stumph contends that expert testimony is unnecessary because lay persons are competent to infer negligence from the result she received from Fosters treatment. We agree and reverse.
