Daubert Standard Arrives in Kansas Courtrooms
The trial court in Johnson County, Kansas held that two of the plaintiff’s three expert witnesses (an acoustical engineer and a remediation/damages expert) should be excluded under the reliability prong of the Daubert analysis. This signals a change in Kansas procedural law as it relates to expert witnesses.
Kansas previously followed the Frye standard and therefore most criticisms or impeachment of an offered expert witness would simply be illustrated for the cross-examination of the witness. However, with the new adoption and apparent willingness of the state District Courts to employ the same, experienced defense counsel can use the Daubert standard to exclude expert witnesses whose testing results or other opinions are not sufficiently reliable.
