Jean Spagnole v. Staten Island Univ. Hosp

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 19, 2010
77 A.D.3d 816 (N.Y. App. Div. 2010)

Opinion

No. 2009-06335.

October 19, 2010.

In an action to recover damages for medical malpractice, the plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Giacobbe, J.), entered May 18, 2009, which, upon a jury verdict, is in favor of the defendants and against her dismissing the complaint.

Levine Gilbert, New York, N.Y. (Harvey A. Levine of counsel), for appellant.

Kopff, Nardelli Dopf LLP, New York, N.Y. (Martin B. Adams and P. Bruin Hays III of counsel), for respondents.

Before: Santucci, J.P., Balkin, Leventhal and Austin, JJ.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Jury interrogatories must be based on claims supported by the evidence ( see Marzuillo v Isom, 277 AD2d 362, 363). Here, the Supreme Court properly declined to submit to the jury the proposed interrogatory regarding whether the defendants departed from the standard of care and proximately caused the plaintiffs injuries by failing to order a CT scan on November 20, 2002, as that theory of recovery was not based on evidence adduced at trial ( see Murray v Maniatis, 21 AD3d 1012, 1013; cf. Beizer v Schwartz, 15 AD3d 433, 434).

The plaintiffs remaining contention is raised for the first time on appeal and is not properly before this Court.
