Lopez v. State of California CA2/1
Plaintiffs Rene and Porfiria Lopez (plaintiffs) appeal from the judgment after the trial court granted a motion for nonsuit in favor of defendant and respondent State of California (defendant). Plaintiffs alleged that their son, Luis, a state prisoner, died as a result of prison employees’ delay in summoning medical aid when Luis suffered a seizure. The trial court ruled that plaintiffs required expert testimony to prove causation and entered a judgment of nonsuit after plaintiffs made clear they did not intend to call an expert witness. On appeal, plaintiffs contend they could prove causation without expert testimony. We concur with the trial court’s reasoning and affirm.
