Southern Airways, Inc. v. Dross

Quillian, Chief Judge.

Clarence Van Dross brought an action against Southern Airways, Inc., (now Republic Airlines, Inc.) seeking to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by claimant resulting from his fall on defendant’s premises. The case came on for trial, the jury returning a verdict for claimant in the sum of $48,500. After entry of judgment the defendant filed a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or in the alternative a motion for new trial. The trial judge granted defendant’s motion for new trial but denied the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
