Torts
Medical malpractice

This is a medical malpractice case. Brenda Olson and her daughter, Emily Olson, claim that a doctor’s negligence committed during Brenda’s pregnancy caused neurological damage to Emily. A jury found that the doctor was not negligent. The Olsons appeal from the judgment in favor of the defendants arguing that the jury’s verdict was against the great weight of the evidence, that the circuit court erred when instructing the jury, and that the trial court made a prejudicial remark during the Olsons’ closing argument. We conclude that there was credible evidence to support the jury’s verdict, and that if the circuit court erred, any error was harmless. We affirm the circuit court’s judgment. This opinion will not be published.
