PER CURIAM:

Negligence during a drilling operation resulted in back injures to Blackwell, who was employed by Trans-World Drilling Company, an independent contractor. Blackwell sued Cities Service Oil Company, the owner of the offshore oil rig. The jury awarded Blackwell $600,000 in damages. Cities Service appeals from the trial court's refusal to grant its motion for new trial based on inconsistencies between special interrogatories and a general verdict.
