Florez v. Schindler Elevator Corp.

OPINION

THORNE, Judge:

1 1 Schindler Elevator Corporation (Schindler) appeals from a jury verdict and judgment in favor of Connie Florez. Florez sued Schindler alleging that Schindler had negligently maintained an elevator at Florez's place of employment, causing Florez to become trapped in an elevator car for some forty-five minutes. Upon her release, Florez fainted and fell to the floor, hitting her head. The fall caused Florez to suffer permanent injuries, most particularly benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV). 1 We affirm the district court's judgment.
