Description
We granted this appeal to address whether the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, as codified at Tennessee Code Annotated section 29-26-115(c), is applicable in medical malpractice cases where the plaintiffs must rely upon expert testimony to prove the elements of causation, standard of care, and that the injury does not ordinarily occur in the absence of negligence. Upon review of Tennessee's medical malpractice law and the authority in other jurisdictions, we conclude that the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur may be applied under those circumstances. The judgments of the lower courts are reversed, and the case is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
