Description
Defendants, Fox Crossing, Inc. and First Financial Insurance Company, appealed the judgment awarding damages to Charles E. Greene and his wife for injuries suffered by Greene when he was struck by a dead limb which fell from a live tree owned by Fox Crossing, Inc. The jury found the defendants liable and awarded plaintiffs special damages for medical expenses, but no general damages. The judgment included an award for past and future lost wages to which the parties had stipulated. The trial judge granted the Greenes motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and awarded general damages. Defendants argued that the jury erred in finding that the limb was an unreasonably dangerous condition and in rejecting the defense that the limbs falling was an Act of God. Defendants further contended that the trial court erred in granting the Greenes motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and in awarding excessive general damages. The Greenes answered the appeal and asserted that both the jury and the trial court erred in refusing to award damages for injury to Greenes ulnar nerve. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
