7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Cheryl Dalton v. Teva North America, et al.
Case No.: 17-1990
Officials: SYKES and BARRETT, Circuit Judges, and GRIESBACH, Chief District Judge
Focus: Statutory Interpretation – Expert Evidence
Cheryl Dalton appeals the summary judgment entered against her in this products liability case. The district court held that Dalton’s claims failed under Indiana law because she did not provide expert evidence on the issue of causation. Dalton contends that she did not have to provide expert evidence because the cause of her injuries would be readily apparent to a lay juror. Because the district court correctly applied Indiana law, we affirm.
