U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-3855
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Bowman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Torts. District court erred in granting defendant's motion
for summary judgment as plaintiff could establish his strict products
liability claim that the scissors lift in question was unreasonably
dangerous without expert testimony; additionally, the district court erred
in excluding plaintiff's experts' testimony about the lift on the grounds
that it was irrelevant and unreliable.
