There is always a risk that a jury could issue a ruling that does not comport with the evidence presented, but in such instances, the law allows a party to move to set aside the verdict and seek a new trial. A party moving for such relief faces a high burden of proof, however, as discussed in a recent New York medical malpractice <a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/new-york\/appellate-division-second-department\/2022\/2018-00436.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">case<\/a> in which the court denied the plaintiff\u2019s motion to set aside an unfavorable ruling. If you suffered losses due to incompetent medical care, you could be owed damages, and it is smart to confer with a Syracuse medical malpractice lawyer to assess your rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Facts of the Case<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is alleged that the defendant doctor prescribed the plaintiff, who was 34 years old, birth control pills. The plaintiff later suffered a stroke. She then filed a lawsuit against the defendant, asserting claims of negligence and lack of informed consent. The case proceeded to trial, and the jury issued a verdict in favor of the defendant. The plaintiff moved to set aside the verdict as against the weight of the evidence, or in the alternative, to set aside the verdict and grant judgment in her favor as a matter of law. The court denied her motion, and she appealed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Establishing That a Medical Malpractice Verdict Should be Set Aside<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under New York law, a motion to set aside a verdict and grant judgment as a matter of law will only be granted if there are no permissible inferences or valid line of reasoning that could potentially lead a rational jury to the conclusion made based on the evidence that was presented at the trial. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/new-york-court-explains-establishing-that-a-medical-malpractice-verdict-should-be-set-aside\/#more-3314\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Typically, a plaintiff in a medical malpractice case will submit their claims to a judge rather than a jury.
