What are the findings of a jury's instructions in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from State of California v. Southern Pacific Co., 133 Cal.App.3d 862, 184 Cal.Rptr. 271 (Cal. App. 1982):
Appellants complain that these instructions, taken together, improperly allowed the jury to award damages for both the fair market value of the timber destroyed and the cost of restoration of the property through reforestation. They rely upon Heninger v. Dunn (1980) 101 Cal.App.3d 858, 162 Cal.Rptr. 104 for the proposition that these are alternative measures of damages.
