Johnson v. Wurster

Superior Court of Pennsylvania
Jul 13, 1979
407 A.2d 54 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1979)

Opinion

Argued March 20, 1979.

Decided July 13, 1979.

Appeal from the Court of Common Pleas, Lycoming County, Civil Action, Law, No. 77-3000, Cherry, Judge Specially Presiding

Lester L. Greevy, Jr., Williamsport, for appellant.

Ronald C. Travis, Williamsport, for appellee.

Before PRICE, SPAETH and LIPEZ, JJ.


The lower court was correct in holding that expert testimony was necessary to the plaintiffs' case in malpractice. See Chandler v. Cook, 438 Pa. 447, 265 A.2d 794 (1970); Freed v. Priore, 247 Pa. Super. 418, 372 A.2d 895 (1977). Since the plaintiffs proffered none, the non-suit was properly granted. Therefore we need not consider the question of the correctness of the lower court's rulings with respect to plaintiffs' cross-examination of the defendant and the defendant's witness.

Affirmed.
