Where a trial judge rejects the plaintiff's expert medical evidence on causation and accepts the defendant's expert evidence, and those findings are based on credibility assessments and detailed analysis of the expert evidence, an appellate court will not intervene unless the findings are shown to be contrary to incontrovertible facts, glaringly improbable, or contrary to compelling inferences. Even if breach of duty could be established, the claim fails if causation cannot be proved on the accepted medical evidence.
