What is the test for a special verdict question in a motor vehicle case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Emamian v. Rockefeller Univ., 971 F.3d 380 (2nd Cir. 2020):

"The formulation of special verdict questions rests in the discretion of the trial judge, and therefore our review is confined to inquiring whether the trial court's submission of the issues in the form of these questions constituted an abuse of discretion." Cann v. Ford Motor Co ., 658 F.2d 54, 58 (2d Cir. 1981) (citations omitted). As we have repeatedly said, "[w]e will reverse a judgment entered upon answers to questions which mislead and confuse the jury or which inaccurately frame the issues to be resolved by the jury." Id.
