BETTS v. CRAWFORD

No. 98-30.

965 P.2d 680 (1998)

Terry L. BETTS and Kay T. Betts, husband and wife, Appellants (Defendants), v. Bonnie CRAWFORD, Appellee (Plaintiff).

Supreme Court of Wyoming.

October 13, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jeffrey J. Gonda, Jonathan A. Botten (argued), and James L. Salmon of Lonabaugh and Riggs, Sheridan, for Appellants (Defendants).

David B. Hooper, Riverton, for Appellee (Plaintiff).

Before LEHMAN, C.J., and THOMAS, MACY, GOLDEN and TAYLOR, JJ.


GOLDEN, Justice.

Homeowners Terry and Kay Betts filed this appeal seeking a new trial after a jury found that their negligence caused injuries to their housecleaner Bonnie Crawford and awarded her substantial damages. The Bettses contend a new trial is warranted because an expert's surprise medical testimony was presented to the jury, and the trial court's refusal of their proffered jury instruction on Crawford's duty of care prejudiced them.

We affirm.
