Overview: In a case in which plaintiffs filed suit against a surgeon for wrongful death, negligence, and battery, the trial court erred in denying the surgeon's motion for JNOV on plaintiffs' battery claim. The proper remedy for a defective special verdict form was to grant the surgeon's motion for JNOV on the battery claim, not to order a new trial.
