Thomas F. Loughlin, Jr., by Thomas F. Loughlin, His Guardian Ad Litem, Respondent v. Daniel S. Brassil, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the judgment and ordered a new trial, holding that the employer owed a duty to inspect and replace a loose nut in the press, that the jury must be instructed that liability requires notice or constructive notice of the defect, that certain post‑accident witness statements were inadmissible, and that counsel's remarks about the defendant's insurance were improper.
