Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Andrea J. Dryer, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (9 pages)
A plaintiff appeals following a defense verdict in his medical negligence suit, claiming the court erred in (1) allowing expert testimony on the standard of care by the defendant doctor absent expert certification and disclosure under Iowa Code section 668.11 (2020) and Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure 1.500(2); and (2) instructing the jury on alternative medical treatments when those were not at issue. OPINION HOLDS: Finding no evidentiary or instructional error, we affirm.
