Caits v. Keyser

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

202 A.D.2d 180 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

March 1, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Francis Becker, J.).


The trial court properly set aside the verdict as against the evidence. No reasonable interpretation of the evidence supports any finding other than that the burn on plaintiff's calf, which subsequently required a skin graft, was sustained when the gooseneck lamp that was adjusted over defendant's shoulder came into contact with plaintiff's leg during the course of her gynecological treatment in defendant's office.

Concur — Rosenberger, J.P., Ellerin, Kupferman, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
