Description
This case involves a personal injury claim by Charles Harned against Dura Corporation, a manufacturer of portable air tanks, based on strict liability in tort and negligence. At the close of evidence, the superior court directed verdicts against the manufacturer on the issues of negligence per se, defective product, superseding cause, comparative negligence and proximate cause. The jury then found that Dura manufactured the air tank and assessed damages. Dura appeals the directed verdicts on superseding cause, comparative negligence, and proximate cause, and also claims that the trial court should have directed a verdict on the issue of brain damage. In addition, Dura contends that the trial court erred in several evidentiary rulings, in denying its motion for a new trial or remittitur and in its award of attorneys fees. We affirm the decision of the superior court.
