A New Jersey appeals court has reinstated a malpractice suit against a New Jersey lawyer that had been dismissed below because the plaintiff’s expert relied on his own experience rather than on a survey of settlement and verdict amounts in comparable cases.
The Appellate Division on Aug. 15 remanded an action against attorney Christian Stueben alleging that he mishandled the case of a former client who was injured when she slipped on a wet floor at the Tropicana Casino & Resort in Atlantic City, N.J.
