Description
Koko Motel, Inc. (Koko) appeals from a judgment awarding Arthur Mayo (Mayo) damages for personal injuries sustained on the premises of the motel. His injuries were caused by a condition which a plumber, Ramon Mendoza, created while fixing a sewer line in the motel lobby. Six issues are asserted as grounds justifying reversal of the judgment. Through them, Koko argues that 1) the trial court erred in failing to ask the jury (through the charge) whether Koko controlled the manner in which the plumber performed his duties, 2) the evidence is legally or factually insufficient to show that Koko had actual or constructive knowledge of the premises defect, 3) the trial court erred in denying Koko's motion for a mistrial after both parties introduced substantial evidence on the issue of control prior to Mayo non-suiting his action for negligent activity, 4) the trial court erred in admitting, over its objection, expert evidence that was not produced prior to trial, and, 5) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the damages awarded for lost wages and earning capacity. We affirm the judgment.
