Description
Rehearing denied November 21, 1985. Plaintiff, Lorene Hollembaek, brought this action to recover for injuries sustained when she slipped and fell on a wet floor while shopping in a food store owned by defendant, Dominick's Finer Foods, Inc. A jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $240,000 but reduced it to $216,000, representing the jury's allocation of plaintiff's comparative negligence in the amount of 10%. The trial court denied defendant's post-trial motion for judgment n.o.v. or for a new trial, and entered judgment on the verdict. On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court erred in giving the missing-witness instruction; that the court erred in restricting defendant's cross-examination of plaintiff's medical expert; that the court erred in giving plaintiff's instructions concerning defendant's duty to plaintiff and in refusing to give defendant's tendered instruction on contributory negligence; and that the court erred in denying defendant's post-trial motion.
