Description
Evidence, Custom and usage, Judicial discretion. Words, ""Habit."" NOLAN, J. Nicole Palinkas, a minor, and her parents brought this action against two physicians, Dr. Lawrence Bennett and Dr. Theodore Golden, alleging that the physicians' negligent treatment for Nicole caused her to suffer severe and permanent brain damage. After a jury trial and verdicts for the defendants, the Superior Court Judge entered judgment for each defendant. The jury found that the defendant, Dr. Bennett, had not acted negligently and, upon discharging Nicole from his care, had disclosed to the plaintiff Karen Palinkas, Nicole's mother, information that he reasonably should have disclosed to her. Following a denial of the plaintiffs' motion for a new trial, the plaintiffs appealed only the judgment in favor of Dr. Bennett.
