Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven J. Lengauer, of Pitts, Eubanks, Hilyard, Rumbley & Meier, P.A., Orlando, for Orange County.

William W. Fernandez, Orlando, and Calvin J. Faucett, Lake Mary, for William and Kathryn Piper.


SHARP, Chief Judge.

William Piper appeals from a final judgment awarding him $12,890.70 in damages. He suffered personal injuries when he fell into a trash compactor which was operated by Orange County. He argues the trial court erred in failing to read Florida Standard Jury Instruction 3.5(f) to the jury. Orange County cross-appeals from an order granting Mrs. Piper a new trial on the issue of damages for loss of consortium. We reverse on both grounds.
