Avis Rent-a-Car v. Carroll
Avis Rent-a-Car v. Carroll
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
This appeal involves a personal injury action instituted by appellees Naomi and H. Gray Carroll. Liability was resolved in favor of appellees on their motion for summary judgment. Thereafter, the damages issues were tried before a jury.
Before this court, appellant Avis asserts that the superior court committed reversible error in its restriction of Avis’ cross-examination of Dr. Lindig. Avis further contends that it should be granted a new trial because by its actions and rulings the superior court communicated to the jury a bias in favor of the Carrolls, thus depriving Avis of a fair trial. Avis also specifies as error the superior court’s allowance of the Car-rolls’ costs bills. Appellees have conceded this point on appeal.
Our careful review of the record in the case at bar has persuaded us that appellant’s specifications of error are devoid of merit. We therefore affirm the judgment which was entered below with the exception of the superior court’s award of costs to the Carrolls.
Affirmed in part, modified in part.
. The jury awarded H. Gray Carroll $1,000 and Naomi Carroll $60,937.27 in damages.
