Torts — medical malpractice — expert testimony

Wisconsin Court of Appeals

Civil

Torts — medical malpractice — expert testimony

Judith and Gordon Satorius appeal an order dismissing their negligence claims against Proassurance Wisconsin Insurance Company, Luther Hospital – Mayo Health System, Midelfort Clinic, Ltd. – Mayo Health System, and Cecil Berlie, Jr., M.D. (collectively, “Luther Hospital”), and a judgment ordering the Satoriuses to pay Proassurance $2,882.29 in statutory taxable costs. The Satoriuses argue the circuit court erred by concluding they were required, but failed, to establish the applicable standard of care through expert testimony. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
