Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division judgment and remanded for a new trial, holding that the trial court erred in admitting the plaintiff's expert testimony on causation, denying the defendant's motion for judgment, and allowing improper evidentiary rulings. The court affirmed that the jury instructions on duty were adequate but found multiple evidentiary errors prejudicial to the defendant.
