No. 2003-028.

150 N.H. 393 (2003)

LEIF NILSSON v. JOSEPH A. BIERMAN.

Supreme Court of New Hampshire.

Opinion Issued: December 29, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

McDowell & Osburn, P.A., of Manchester (Jeffrey B. Osburn and David S.V. Shirley on the brief, and Mr. Osburn orally), for the plaintiff.

Desmarais, Ewing & Johnston, PLLC, of Manchester (Fred J. Desmarais and Heather G. Silverstein on the brief, and Ms. Silverstein orally), for the defendant.

McNeill, Taylor & Gallo, P.A., of Dover (R. Peter Taylor on the brief), for the New Hampshire Trial Lawyers Association, as amicus curiae.

BRODERICK, J.

The plaintiff, Leif Nilsson, appeals from a jury verdict in Superior Court (Barry, J.) that apportioned fault on his negligence claim between the defendant, Joseph A. Bierman, and Eric Robert Knight, a joint tortfeasor who settled before trial. See RSA 507:7-e (1997). The defendant cross-appeals, arguing that the court's jury instructions regarding speed were misleading. We affirm.
