Benloss v. Roal Drug Corp.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 8, 1995
215 A.D.2d 423 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

May 8, 1995

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The defendant pharmacy conceded its liability in misfilling a prescription that, when ingested by the plaintiff, caused bizarre behavior and caused the plaintiff to be monitored in the hospital for three days. However, contrary to the plaintiff's contention, the jury could properly find that the plaintiff suffered no compensable damages as a result of the ingestion of the pills (see, Leto v Isolano, 209 A.D.2d 589; Nicastro v Park, 113 A.D.2d 129). Specifically, the jury was entitled to accept the opinion of the defendant's experts and to reject the testimony of the plaintiff's experts (see, Connolly v Pastore, 203 A.D.2d 412).

Further, the trial court did not err in denying the plaintiff's request to admit into evidence the package insert for the mistakenly-substituted drugs, since the defendant conceded its negligence and the package insert was not relevant to the issue of damages.

The plaintiff's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Joy, J.P., Friedmann, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
