Description
Cross-appeals from a jury verdict for plaintiff in her ""slip and fall"" suit against defendant Safeway. The jury awarded Mrs. Robinson $140,000 on her claim for damages. Although it found in Mr. Robinson's favor on his claim for loss of consortium, the jury awarded the husband no damages. Safeway appeals the trial court's refusal to grant it a directed verdict, and plaintiff appeals the court's grant of a new trial. In its appeal Safeway contends that Mrs. Robinson was contributorily negligent as a matter of law, that the trial court erroneously admitted evidence that the store's employees mopped the accident site after the fall, that there was no evidence that Safeway had notice of the condition, and that plaintiff's verdict director contained a roving commission. Plaintiff's cross-appeal is from the grant of a new trial on the sole ground that plaintiff's verdict directing instruction was erroneous.
