Description
The plaintiffs-respondents, Maxine and Joe Washburn, sued the defendant-appellant, Grundy Electric Cooperative, Inc., for wrongful death and personal injury. The jury awarded Maxine Washburn $500,000 and Joe Washburn $25,000, and assessed 70 percent of fault to appellant and 30 percent to Joe Washburn and the deceased, William Washburn. The defendant-appellant appeals alleging the trial court erred by (1) permitting expert testimony where there was insufficient foundation qualifying respondents' experts; (2) failing to sustain appellant's motion for a directed verdict or for a new trial; (3) mishandling the jury instructions as well as the jury; and (4) permitting damages to be awarded to Joe Washburn. We affirm. William and Maxine Washburn moved to a farm in rural Harrison County in December, 1962. Prior to that time they did not own the farmland but leased it.
