Failure to diagnose breast cancer cases are always difficult and experts struggle to explain the shifting science in the area. The evidentiary standards that must be met are very high. But juries can still be impressed, even in states that highly regulate and limit jury verdicts that should be protected by the 7th Amendment guarantee of jury trial rights under the Constitution.
