Estellene W. Terry v. Plateau Electric

A jury returned a verdict for $5,558,875.00 as damages for personal injuries sustained by Steven C. Terry when a metal pole
he was carrying came into contact with an overhead 7,200 volt power line owned and maintained by the defendant. A remittitur
of $1,500,00.00 was suggested. A veritable host of issues is presented for review, but in our opinion only one of them require Discussion: the deliberate
injection, by an expert witness called by the plaintiff, of the fact of insurance, upon which the verdict was clearly based
according to the unrefuted affidavits of jurors.
