Heading: Need for medical expert testimony

Text: We further note that, even without Dr. Moreno's expert testimony, summary judgment might be inappropriate in this case in light of this court's recent decision in Gass v. Marriott Hotel Services, 558 F.3d 419, 434 (6th Cir.2009) (holding that expert testimony was not required to prove the causation element of a negligence case where the plaintiffs were allegedly exposed to pesticides and immediately developed respiratory injuries). Because we conclude that Dr. Moreno's opinion is admissible, however, we have no need to decide whether the holding in Gass is applicable to the present case.
For all of the reasons set forth above, we REVERSE the judgment of the district court and REMAND the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
