Negligence: Medical Malpractice – Health Care Affidavit – Failure To File
Stephanie Maniscalco//August 11, 2011
Where health care providers sought the dismissal with prejudice of a medical malpractice action based on the plaintiff’s failure to timely file a health care affidavit, the plaintiff’s affidavits failed to identify the medical expert and to provide his address and qualifications as required by statute, so the trial court is ordered to dismiss the action.
Preliminary order made permanent.
State ex rel. Gary W. Farley and Northland Orthopedic Group (MLW No. 62578/Case No. ED96966 – 5 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, Ahrens, P.J.) Writ of Mandamus (Mark A. Gonnerman for relator) (Donald J. Ohl for respondent).
