1Opinion of the Court

OLLY NEAL, Judge.

This is a slip-and-fall case. The jury entered a verdict in the amount of $30, 296.78 in appellant Dorothea Kopriva’s favor, but declined to make an award for Stanley Kopriva’s loss of consortium claim. Appellee subsequently moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV). This appeal is taken from the trial court’s order granting appellee’s motion for JNOV Appellants’ sole point for reversal is that the trial court erred in granting appellee’s motion for JNOV We find no error and affirm.

A trial court may grant a JNOV only if there is no substantial evidence to support…
