Blanton v. Godwin

WHATLEY, Judge.

Linwood Blanton appeals, and Martha and David Godwin cross-appeal, an order awarding David Godwin attorney’s fees for his consortium claim. We conclude that the trial court erred in awarding attorney’s fees for the consortium claim because the evidence did not establish that the fees awarded were solely related to the work done on that claim. We therefore reverse the award of attorney’s fees and remand to the trial court to award Mr. Godwin attorney’s fees for 3.3 hours. We do not find merit in the issues raised in the cross-appeal.

Martha Godwin was injured in an automobile…
