Ray E. Seeley v. Dr. Wentworth Eaton

This is a medical malpractice case. Appellants, Ray E. Seeley, individually and as next friend for several minor children, the estate of Florene Seeley, and several adult children brought this suit against appellees Dr. Wentworth Eaton and Dr. J. F. Cox, Jr., for the wrongful death of Florene Seeley resulting from malpractice in connection with surgery and medical treatment. The estate of Florene Seeley brought suit on the survivor's action for pain and suffering, and the other plaintiffs sought recovery for the loss of a wife and mother. At the close of the plaintiffs' case, the trial court granted an instructed verdict for Dr. Cox. Trial was to a jury which found in response to special issues that Dr. Eaton was not guilty of any negligence. The jury answered ""None"" to all damage issues. Accordingly, judgment was entered that plaintiffs take nothing against defendants Eaton and Cox.
