What is the standard of review in medical malpractice cases?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cranford v. City of Huntington Beach, G043791, Super. Ct. No. 30-2008-00106397 (Cal. App. 2012):
Our standard of review is well-established. "Under the substantial evidence standard of review, our review begins and ends with the determination as to whether, on the entire record, there is substantial evidence, contradicted or uncontradicted, which will support the trial court's factual determinations. [Citations.] Substantial evidence is evidence of ponderable legal significance, reasonable in nature, credible, and of solid value. [Citation.]" (Ermoian v. Desert Hospital (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 475, 501; see Bowers v. Bernards (1984) 150 Cal.App.3d 870, 873-874.) We review the relevant trial evidence in view of that standard.
