Aeronautics Commission Indiana v. Radio

This appeal arises out of a jury verdict in favor of plaintiff-appellee James M. Johnson (Johnson) in a negligence suit brought by him against Robert J. Duchane (Duchane), the defendant-appellant. Duchane presents three basic issues for our review. The first is the failure of the trial court to give certain instructions tendered by Duchane concerning his theory of defense, and the second issue is the propriety of the giving of certain instructions regarding damages under the facts of the case. Duchane also raises the issue of whether the damage award was excessive.
