South Coast Properties, Inc. v. Schuster

This appeal is from a judgment rendered on a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Jeff Glenn Schuster,1 and against defendant South Coast Properties, Inc., d/b/a "Jake's Place" ("South Coast"), in a negligence action. The question presented is whether Schuster presented substantial evidence showing the alleged negligence of South Coast's employee. Schuster has filed a cross-appeal, alleging that Ala. Code 1975, § 6-11-3, which was applied to his award of future damages, is unconstitutional.2
