Raleigh v. Performance Plumbing and Heating, Inc.

Opinion by

Judge KAPELKE.

In this personal injury action for damages incurred in a car accident, defendant, Performance Plumbing & Heating, Inc., appeals from the judgment entered against it on a jury verdict awarding damages to plaintiffs Carolyn A. Raleigh and Kevin C. Raleigh on their negligent hiring claim and to plaintiff Kevin P. Raleigh on his claim for loss of consortium. By cross-appeal, plaintiffs challenge the trial court’s denial of their motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) on their vicarious liability claim against defendant. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
