Description
1 Defendant Kurt Lainhart appeals from a jury verdict awarding plaintiff Michelle Patey damages for injuries she received in an automobile accident Lainhart caused. Lainhart argues that the trial court impermissibly allowed Pateys dentist, Dr. Leland Bitner, to testify that the car accident was caused injuries to her teeth and to relate the opinions of other dentists to whom he had referred Patey. Lainhart also asserts that Bitner was not qualified to give an opinion about the causation of Pateys injuries and that the basis for his opinion lacked inherent reliability under the doctrine announced in State v. Rimmasch, 775 P.2d 388 (Utah 1989).
