Expert Witness Allowed To Testify In Toxic Exposure Case
However, Adkins stated in the decision that “an expert need not administer the IQ test to be competent to testify that lead exposure cause a loss in IQ.” The decision also granted him the ability to discuss his findings with a jury, including his opinion based on review of the site and Christian’s medical records that the property owned by Levitas was a factor in the harm done to Christian.
In an interview withThe Daily Record,Brown stated “[This decision is] going to help future clients who make these kind of claims, not just in lead paint cases but in all kinds of cases, because it really solidifies the standard which an expert must overcome in order to have his or her opinions accepted by the court.”
While this decision does reinstate the testimony of Dr. Klein as evidence, it doesn’t mean the testimony will be entered just yet. Levitas and his legal team have chosen to appeal this decision. This case is far from over, but this decision could represent a substantial victory and monumental step forward for both Attorney Brown as his client, who are seeking compensation for damage done through no fault of his own.
