Collins v. Herring Chiropractic Center

Supreme Court of Alabama

Jefferson County | 237 So.3d 867 | Feb. 17, 2017


Plaintiff Argued Case was Simple Enough to be Understood by Lay Person - Summary Judgment Reversed

Betty Collins filed an appeal against Ricardo Herring, D.C., and Herring Chiropractic Center, LLC, claiming damages due to alleged medical malpractice. She said she received an improperly administered cold pack during a treatment at the center which resulted in scars on her knee.

The defendants argued that Collins had not provided any evidence that her treatment was substandard, and also claimed she had not appointed a required expert witness. However, Collins argued that her case was simple enough to be understood by a layperson and didn't require an expert witness. the Supreme Court of Alabama, viewing the evidence most favorably for Collins, reversed and remanded the summary judgment in favor of the defendants.
