Di Gioia v. Schetrompf
Superior Court of Delaware
Decided March 6, 1969PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
QUILLEN, Judge.
The plaintiffs have moved for a new trial on the issue of damages only.
The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff husband in the amount of $648.55. On the plaintiff wife’s claim for loss of consortium, the jury found no damage and made no award. The plaintiffs challenge both of these verdicts on the basis of legal inadequacy.
In regard to the loss of consortium claim, I deny the application of the plaintiff wife. The evidence as to loss of consortium was not strong and susceptible of various conclusions by the trier of fact.
