Muehlhauser v. Erickson12/26/2000
ment that the trial court erred in allowing interest on the entire amount of damages. The interest award is reversed, and the issue is remanded for recalculation. See Johnson v. Washington County, 506 N.W.2d 632, 641 (Minn. App. 1993), aff'd, 518 N.W.2d 594 (Minn. 1994).
DECISION
The trial court did not err in denying appellants' motion for JNOV or, in the alternative, a new trial, because the evidence was sufficient to establish common-law negligence even if there was no proof of a violation of a federal motor carrier regulation.
The trial court properly excluded eyewitness lay-opinion testimony that was not directly based on firsthand observation and that would not have been helpful to the jury.
The trial court properly instructed the jury on wrongful-death damages when it gave the 1999 version of the jury instruction.
The trial court did not err in refusing to give the requested curative instruction.
The trial court erred by including future damages in its pre-verdict interest award.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
