defendants'
Plaintiff's motion in limine to preclude the testimony of the medical expert, Neal

Hochwald, MD is baseless, unwarranted and completely disingenuous.

At the outset it should be underscored that theclaimed injuries and treatmeñt received by the plaintiff

isminimal. Therefore, for plaintiffto suggest the expert disclosure needs to be more detailed isnot just not

possible based on the facts of the case. The plaintiff sought medical attention for the injuries she is claiming

approximately eleven times over the course of almost five years. The plaintiffonly treated with an urgent

"injuries"
care center and orthopedist Dr. McIntrye, her intended expert, in connection to the underlying this

case. She received a couple of injections and underwent a relatively minor trigger thumb surgery.

defendants'
Furthermore, to suggest the expert should be precluded because the disclosure does not

specifically state which medicals he reviewed is ludicrous in thiscase as there are no more than 5 relevant

records in thiscase. This information could also certainly be ascertained on cross examination. Interestingly,

plaintiff claims we should have listed all peer reviewed medical literature and/or treatises used by Dr.

Hochwald yet plaintiff's own expert disclosure and accompanying report are completely silenton this issue.

Plaintiff'scounsel cites to a thirddepartment case Brossoit v. Obrien to support his claim that the

defendants' "deficient."
expert disclosure is Brossoit is distinguishable from the present facts. InBrossit the

Court ruled that plaintiff's expert economist was required to compute the plaintiff's losses and the manner

in which the losses were converted to present value. The information the court ordered the plaintiff to

supplemêñt was pretty basic and central to the expert economist's opinion. Here, the defendants have

provided a summary of Dr. Hochwald's anticipated testimony which iscompliant with CPLR 3101(d)(1)(I)

"A" defendants'
and discussed more fully below. Annexed hereto as Exhibit isthe expert disclosure.

Incredulously, the plaintiff makes the argument that the defendants were required to mention the

plaintiff's predisposition of trigger finger or the fact that the bite did not cause the injury in a Bill of

Particulars. Unsurprisingly, plaintiff cites to no legal authority in support of this claim. There is no

requirement that an expert disclosure must be identical to a Bill of Particulars. Clearly developments in

discovery, receipt of medicals and party deposition testimony evolve during the course of litigationwhich

often changes the nature and character of an expected expert's testimony.

defendants'
Plaintiff argues that the expert disclosure failed to explain the basis of Dr. Hochwald's

opinion in scientific or factual terms. CPLR 3101(d)(1)(I) states the following:

Experts. (i)Upon request, each party shall identify each person whom the

party expects to call as an expert witness at trial and shall disclose in
reasonable detail the subject matter on which each expert is expected to

testify,the substance of the facts and opinions on which each expert is
expected to testify,the qualifications ofeach expert witness and a summary
of the grounds for each expert's opinion.

Here, the defendants complied with the statute.The expert disclosure of Dr. Hochwald sets forththat

Dr. Hochwald isbasing his opinion on the medical records, deposition testimonies of the parties as well as

the pleadings. The expert disclosure goes on to state that Dr. Hochwald does not believe the dog bite caused

the plaintiff's claimed injuries specifically right trigger thumb and DeQuravain's Tenosynovitis. It is

anticipated that Dr. Hochwald will discuss the causes and risk factors of the conditions plaintiff is

complaining of. In furtherance of this conclusion he believes the plaintiff was at risk for developing the

conditions plaintiffclaims were the result of the dog bite.Importantly the expert disclosure explicitly states

Dr. Hochwald will rebut plaintiff's claims. The opinions were formulated based on the facts ascertained by

the through the documents he reviewed.

Ifwe applied plaintiff'sown created legal standard his own medical expert should be precluded as

itis deficient and vague. A review of plaintiff'sexpert report is a copy
literally and paste of the 7 visits he

"B"
had with the plaintiff. Annexed hereto as Exhibit is a copy of plaintiff's expert disclosure. Dr.

McIntrye's opinion is based on the expert disclosure and his written report is thatthe injury sustained to

plaintiff's right thumb was the cause of her right DeQuarvain's tenosynovitis and the righttrigger thumb.

"may"
He also speculates that the patient require repeat injection in rightwrist and a possible right trigger

"may"
thumb revision surgery and that the injuries be permanent. Plaintiff's motion is also shockingly

disingenuous because the expert disclosure does not explain the theories he relied upon to formulate his

opinion which counsel claims we should have supplied in our expert disclosure.

The defendants take strong exception to plaintiff's characterization that the expert disclosure of Dr.

Hochwald isuntimely. CPLR 3 101(d) does not establish a specific time frame for expert witness disclosure,

a trial
court has discretion to preclude expert testimony for the failure to reasonably comply with the statute.

Lucian v. Schwartz, 55 A.D.3d 687, 865 N.Y.S.2d 643(2d Dep't 2008), see, Martin v. NYRAC, Inc., 258

A.D.2d 443, 684 N.Y.S.2d 605 (1999). It iswell settled that a determination as to whether to preclude a

party from introducing the testimony of an expert witness at trialbased on CPLR 3 I01(d)(1) is leftto the

sound discretion ofthe court. Rivera v. Monteflore Med Ctr.,28 N.Y.3d 999 (2016).The Second Department

affirmed the trialcourt's decision inprecluding expert testimony elicited on the second day oftrial.Deandino

v. New York City Tr. Auth., 105 A.D.3d 801, 963 N.Y.S.2d 288 (2d Dep't 2013). Itshould be noted that the

Court in Deandino cited to the Rivers case, specifically stating CPLR 3 101 d (1) does not automatically

preclude experts, disclosed near commencement of trialfrom testifying at trial.
Id Rivers v.Birnbaum, 102

A.D.3d 26.

The defendants served the expert disclosure of Neal Hochwald, MD on July 8, 2019, aftergood faith

settlement negotiations failed and more than a month prior to the commencement selection.As noted I
ofjury

above, the Courts in this state have not promulgated a certain time frame for expert disclosure but have

precluded an expert where a party has served the an expert testimony elicited on the second day of trial.In

this case the defendants served their expert disclosure 36 days in advance of trialwhich issimply not the

trial"
"eve of especially based on the facts of this case.

Also as plaintiff's counsel I am sure isaware there isno requirement for a medical expert to have

examine a plaintiff despite what he is insinuating by the
claiiilliig defendants waived their rightto a physical

examination.

As such itis respectfully submitted that plaintiff's motion in limine should be denied in itsentirety

or the alternative should the Court accept the plaintiff'sarguiiiciitscounsel's own medical expert should be

precluded.
