Cumulative evidence? No harm.

In a dispute about the propriety of an expert’s testimony in a medical malpractice case, the Fifth Court reminded that “the erroneous admission of evidence is harmless if it is merely cumulative,” found that “[the expert’s] testimony was not the only basis on which the jury could find that Rudman was not negligent,” and described three other witnesses who spoke to the relevant issue. As to the disputed opinion, then, ” its admission was harmless.” McPherson v. Rudman, No. 05-16-00719-CV (June 21, 2018) (mem. op.)
