Claire F. Stanton, as Administratrix of the Estate of Nathan L. Stanton, Deceased, Appellant v. State of New York…

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the State trooper's conduct was not unreasonable or negligent and therefore the State was not liable for the death of the claimant's intestate; Judge Burke dissented, arguing the trooper's negligence was a concurrent proximate cause and the judgment should be reversed.
