U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-1042
District of Minnesota
Civil case - torts. District court did not err in excluding the testimony of
plaintiff's expert witness in this products liability action; the testimony,
concerning possible safety measures for the sander which injured
plaintiff, lacked indicia of reliability as the expert failed to demonstrate
by some means that the proposed safety measures would work to protect
the operators while not interfering with the machine's utility.
