Supreme Court of Connecticut
Nicole Hurley v. the Heart Physicians, P.C.
September 14, 2010298 Conn. 371
Summary
The court affirmed the judgment for the defendant after a jury trial on the plaintiff's product-liability claim. It held that the trial court properly interpreted the prior remand as requiring the jury to decide whether the defendant's representative's advice and pacemaker adjustment contradicted the technical manual, properly accepted the verdict as unanimous after a neutral clarification of one juror's response, and correctly deemed any error in admitting evidence concerning the treating physicians' negligence harmless because the jury never reached causation.
