Peled v. Bohn
Plaintiff and appellant Leon Peled,[1]through his guardian ad litem Karen Peled, appeals from a judgment following a jury trial in favor of defendants and respondents Mark Dwight, M.D., and Yvonne Bohn, M.D. (collectively the doctors) in this action for wrongful life. Leon contends: (1) the trial court erroneously instructed the jurors that they had to agree on a specific disability that could have been diagnosed of two stated disabilities; (2) the same instruction should have included a third disability; (3) a special instruction on abortion was unnecessary and prejudicial; (4) an instruction on alternative methods of treatment was unsupported by the evidence and potentially misleading; (5) the trial court erred by excluding evidence of a subsequent remedial measure; (6) the trial court should have excluded cumulative expert testimony; and (7) the trial court erred by awarding costs against Leons parents. Court affirm the judgment against Leon.
