City of Indianapolis v. Swanson
Indiana Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
CONOVER, Judge.
The City of Indianapolis appeals the verdict of a Marion Circuit Court jury finding the City negligent in signing a curve on Sargent Road. The jury awarded the plaintiff, Richard Swanson, $185,000 to compensate him for injuries suffered in a one-car automobile accident as a result of the City’s negligence.
The City contends certain of the trial court’s evidentiary rulings were contrary to law and an abuse of discretion. The City also challenges the propriety of some of the court’s jury instructions.
We find no error by the trial court and accordingly affirm.
