PIPPIN v. RANCH HOUSE SOUTH, INC.

366 A.2d 1180 (1976)

L. Mae PIPPIN, Plaintiff below, Appellant, v. RANCH HOUSE SOUTH, INC., Defendant below, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Delaware.

Decided September 15, 1976.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

F. Alton Tybout and Jeffrey S. Goddess, of Tybout & Redfearn, Wilmington, for plaintiff-appellant.

Mason E. Turner, Jr., of Prickett, Ward, Burt & Sanders, Wilmington, for defendant-appellee.

Before HERRMANN, C. J., and DUFFY and McNEILLY, JJ.

DUFFY, Justice:

In this "slip and fall" case, a Superior Court jury returned a verdict for defendant. Plaintiff appeals, arguing that she was unfairly prejudiced by the admission of evidence as to the absence of other accidents or injuries on the same premises, and that the prejudice was compounded by an incorrect jury instruction. We conclude that there is merit to the appeal and that the judgment must be reversed.
