Supreme Court of Connecticut

Fleming v. Dionisio

July 14, 2015

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment awarding compensatory and punitive damages after concluding that the trial court properly admitted limited expert testimony concerning a stimulant-drug withdrawal crash phase. It also upheld the trial court’s evidentiary rulings limiting evidence of the defendant’s criminal probation, admitting postaccident conduct and condition evidence, and declining to strike the plaintiff’s testimony about her future plans.
