Description
JUSTICE GOLDENHERSH delivered the opinion of the court: Plaintiffs, Robert Usselmann and Betty Usselmann, appeal froma judgment of the circuit court of Clinton County and the court's order denying their posttrial motion for new trial. Plaintiffs filed this action based on injuries Robert Usselmann sustained when he fell at the home of defendant, Anthony H. Jansen. Although the jury returned a verdict for both plaintiffs, it did not award any damages for Robert's pain and suffering, disability, or diminished earning capacity. The jury also awarded no damages to Betty Usselmann on her loss of consortium claim. The jury found Robert to be contributorily negligent in the incident, thus reducing the damages award for medical expenses and lost wages by 50%.
