Yohaira Galindez v. Rhode Island Public Transit Authority

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court's judgment in favor of RIPTA, rejecting Galindez's eleven assignments of error. The Court held that the trial judge did not err in evidentiary rulings, spoliation instruction, late amendment of the answer, juror dismissal, jury question response, failure to give a heightened duty instruction, denial of the motion for new trial, or handling of a misattributed medical record. Several issues were deemed waived for lack of preservation.
