Sylvia A. Kulak v. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, Appellant-Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for a new trial, holding that expert testimony predicting the outcome of the specific personal injury claim and assessing the significance of particular evidence was inadmissible, while expert testimony on general insurance settlement practices and the effect of an insurer’s counsel not knowing policy limits was admissible.
