Wilmington, DE 19899 Dear Counsel:
I have granted the Defendant's Motion in Limine. The Defendant's motion seeks to prevent the Plaintiff from seeking compensation for damages relating to her pregnancy complications and miscarriage. I granted it because the Plaintiff does not have a qualified medical expert that can establish the required causal connection between her pregnancy-related damages and the motor vehicle accident. Having said that, the fact that the Plaintiff was pregnant at the time of the accident appears to have some relevance since it may have limited the diagnosis and treatment of her injuries as set forth in Dr. Whitlock's report. We can flesh out the extent of that testimony at trial if the case does not settle.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Very truly yours,
/s/
