The plaintiff in a motor vehicle accident action brought a motion to exclude surveillance evidence, strike the jury notice due to pandemic delays, and require a jury instruction on the statutory deductible.
The court excluded surveillance footage taken on the plaintiff's wedding day, finding its prejudicial effect outweighed its probative value, but allowed other footage taken from private parking lots.
The court conditionally struck the jury notice to ensure the trial proceeds on its fixed date even if a jury is unavailable.
The request for a jury instruction on the statutory deductible was dismissed, as the jury's role is to assess damages without regard to the deduction.
