Jean M. Hammer v. Investors Life Insurance

Appellant brought a medical malpractice action in connection with injury incurred during post-operative care following tracheal resection surgery. The district court granted defendants motion to dismiss on grounds that appellant had failed to comply with the expert witness disclosure requirements of Minn. Stat. § 145.682 (2004). The court of appeals affirmed, and we granted further review. Concluding that appellants expert disclosure was sufficient to preclude mandatory dismissal of a nursing malpractice cause of action, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand to the district court for further proceedings.
