ELMORE v. RAMOS

No. 2691.

327 S.C. 507 (1997)

489 S.E.2d 663

Karen ELMORE, Appellant, v. Tony RAMOS and Helen Ramos, Respondents.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided June 30, 1997.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

O. Grady Query, Charleston, for appellant.

Joseph S. Brockington and Mark C. Brandenburg, Charleston, for respondents.


GOOLSBY, Judge:

This action arises out of a fall that Karen Elmore asserts was caused by Tony and Helen Ramoses' Black Labrador Retriever, a large domestic animal. The trial court granted the Ramoses' directed verdict motion. The question on appeal is whether a victim may recover under S.C.Code Ann. § 47-3-110 (1987) for injuries caused by a dog's jumping on the victim. We reverse and remand.1
