A unanimous state appellate panel has reinstated a jury verdict in favor of the New York City Transit Authority, reversing a lower court judge who set aside the verdict on the grounds that the transit authority’s attorney prejudiced the jury by giving them his own speculative account of an accident in which a man claimed injury when a conductor closed the door on his ankle.
The Appellate Division, First Department, decision in Selzer v. New York City Transit Authority, 112370/07, was written by Justice James Catterson (See Profile), joined by Justices David Saxe (See Profile), Rolando Acosta (See Profile), Leland DeGrasse (See Profile) and Rosalyn Richter (See Profile).
