A jury found Denney's damages to be $50,000 but attributed 90% fault to him, resulting in a $5,000 award. Denney appealed, raising eight points of error concerning jury instructions on comparative fault, exclusion of evidence, objections to closing argument, and denial of motions to strike venirepersons. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, affirmed the circuit court's judgment, finding no reversible error in any of Denney's claims.","primaryTopic":"negligence","topicSlugs":["negligence","civil-procedure","jury-instructions","evidence","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=194355","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/andrew-denney-appellant-v-sybergs-westport-inc-dba-sybergs-respondent-110498","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"personal-injury","label":"Personal Injury","href":"/practice-areas/personal-injury","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: personal-injury","topic: negligence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/personal-injury"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: jury-instructions","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
