The appellants appealed a jury verdict in a fatal motor vehicle accident action, arguing the trial judge erred in his instructions on the duty of a driver entering a highway, failed to instruct the jury on the range of damages for loss of guidance, care, and companionship, and that the damages awarded were excessive.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, noting the appellants' failure to object to the jury charge at trial.
The Court held that while the damages awarded were high, they were not so inordinately high as to warrant appellate intervention.
