James H. Kelley, Surviving Spouse of Lillie Donnette Kelley, Deceased, et al. v. Middle Tennessee Emergency Physicians, P.C., et al. - M2006-00517-COA-R3-CV
Davidson County- The appeal arises from the summary dismissal of a medical malpractice action against a cardiologist and his cardiology group. The decedent’s surviving family alleges the decedent’s death was the result of medical malpractice. The trial court dismissed the claim finding the plaintiff failed to prove the element of causation as required by Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-26-115 (a)(3) . The plaintiff contends the evidence was sufficient to survive summary dismissal. Finding no error, we affirm.
