June 17, 188496 N.Y. 305

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's judgment and ordered a new trial because it held that expert testimony concerning speculative future injuries was improperly admitted. The court clarified that future damages may be considered only when the consequences are reasonably certain to follow the injury.
