The plaintiff, a purchaser of land, brought a claim for negligent misrepresentation against the sellers and their agent, predicated on her claim that they negligently misrepresented the property boundaries. The plaintiff, however, did not obtain a survey of the land despite the advice to do so. The Appellate Court upheld a jury verdict in favor of the defendents, concluding that the failre to obtain a survey property formed the basis for a comparative negligence defense to the claim of negligent misrepresentation.
