C. E. Coffee Et Al v. F. W. Woolworth Company

Mrs. Floy Coffee obtained favorable answers to special issues in her action for personal injuries which she sustained in a fall inside the store owned by defendants F. W. Woolworth Company and Woolco Department Stores. The defendants will be referred to as Woolco. The trial court granted defendants motion for judgment non obstante veredicto and the court of civil appeals affirmed the judgment. 526 S.W.2d 793. The points of error in the court of civil appeals and in this court are that the plaintiff produced more than a scintilla of evidence which supports each of the essential jury findings. In our opinion there was some evidence which supports each of the findings. We reverse the judgments of the courts below and render judgment on the jury verdict that plaintiff Coffee recover the sum of $7,500.00.
