Supreme Court of New Jersey

Gerald Robert Eaton v. Donna Eaton, Defendant-Appellant

June 26, 1990119 N.J. 628

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's reversal and remand, holding that the trial court erred by failing to give a res ipsa loquitur instruction, that a violation of N.J.S.A. 39:4-97 constitutes negligence per se, and that a guilty plea to the careless‑driving charge is admissible as evidence.
