Supreme Court of New Jersey

Esther Lanzet

September 4, 1991126 N.J. 168

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for a new trial, holding that the evidence was sufficient to establish a standard of care, a deviation, and a causal link between the physicians' conduct and Anna Lanzet's injuries. The Court also found that the jury should have been instructed on the increased‑risk doctrine, which the majority had omitted.
