PARRO, J.

Both the plaintiffs and defendants in this case appeal a judgment based on a jury verdict arising out of an accident in which a child was killed when a truck hit her as she tried to cross a roadway. The plaintiffs and defendants challenge certain evidentiary rulings and the jury's allocation of fault; the defendants also appeal the assessment of court costs and the amount of damages. We amend in part and affirm as amended.
