GLICKMAN, Associate Judge:
This is an appeal by Drs. Groover, Christie and Merritt, P.C. (“GCM”), and William L. Higgins, M.D., from an adverse judgment in a medical malpractice action brought by Sharon K. Burke. The two main issues are whether the trial court should have excluded expert testimony of a GCM radiologist because Ms. Burke did not designate him as an expert witness in pretrial discovery, and whether the court should have applied Maryland law to cap the award of non-economic damages. 1 We conclude that only the latter claim entitles appellants to relief.
