Description

This is an action against the defendant,
a physician, in which it is alleged that the plaintiff's
decedent, Mrs. Ida Levett, went to the defendant's
office as a patient; that she was advanced in age and
infirm and used a cane for the purpose of supporting
her body; and that while she was there she fell and
[158 Conn. 569]
was injured owing to the negligence of the defendant,
his agents or servants in failing to assist her in
disrobing in a dressing room in the defendant's
offices and in leaving her alone in the dressing room
unsupervised and unattended, when they knew or
should have known that if she was permitted to disrobe
unattended, unaided and unsupported she would be in
danger of falling. In his answer, the defendant
admitted that the decedent was in his office as a
patient but denied that he was negligent in any way.
The defendant also pleaded by way of special defense
that the decedent was offered assistance in disrobing
by an employee of the defendant but refused the
proffered assistance and would not allow the defendant's
employee to assist her and thereby assumed any risk
involved. The plaintiff denied all the allegations of
the special defense. From the verdict and judgment
for the defendant the plaintiff has appealed. The
sole assignment of error urged in this court relates
to the trial court's charge to the jury.
