Description
Plaintiff sought some $19,000 damages for the destruction of her home, furnishings, and personal belongings in an explosion and fire occurring August 22, 1959. She joined as defendants the company which had furnished her natural gas and the company which had performed certain work in the maintenance of the service line. The case was tried to a jury with resulting verdict for plaintiff and judgment for $10,654, and defendants have appealed, urging that the trial court erred (1) in applying the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur to the facts, (2) in allowing plaintiff to argue the case on two theories, both on the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur and specific negligence, (3) in giving an improper instruction concerning the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur, (4) in the giving of improper instructions concerning the amount of damages to be awarded, and (5) in refusing to submit special interrogatories to the jury.
