Bota v. Kaminsky

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Nov 21, 2002
299 A.D.2d 259 (N.Y. App. Div. 2002)

Opinion

2302

November 21, 2002.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Alice Schlesinger, J.), entered July 20, 2001, which denied plaintiff's motion to set aside the verdict as against the weight of the evidence, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

CHRISTIAN M. McGANNON, for plaintiff-appellant.

MICHAEL R. VARBLE, for defendant-respondent.

Before: Nardelli, J.P., Mazzarelli, Sullivan, Ellerin, Marlow, JJ.


The court properly declined to set aside the verdict in favor of defendant. It was for the jury to resolve the conflict in the parties' testimony as to whether or not an adequate warning was given of the reasonably foreseeable risks involved in the tooth extraction at issue, and to determine whether the particular injury suffered was encompassed in the warning actually given or was the type of risk requiring a more specific warning (see Marchione v. State, 194 A.D.2d 851, 854; Public Health Law § 2805-d). Furthermore, the jury could have reasonably concluded that defendant advised plaintiff of all viable alternatives to the procedure. Contrary to plaintiff's argument, defendant's testimony did not contain any concessions of liability, but instead raised issues of fact for the jury.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
