Supreme Court of New Jersey

Juan Morales-Hurtado v. Abel v. Reinoso (082293) (Bergen County & Statewide)

April 16, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment, holding that the cumulative effect of multiple trial errors deprived the plaintiff of a fair trial and warranted a new trial, and it provided guidance that the trial court must act as gatekeeper under N.J.R.E. 702 and 703 when evaluating the life‑care expert’s testimony.
