Appeals court upholds $21,000 verdict in full
Iowa Court of Appeals affirms a $21,000 judgment for Merle A. Lewis, 77, who slipped on lettuce at Hy-Vee in Cedar Rapids causing a broken hip. The 1982 incident led to a Linn County jury award in 1984 and Hy-Vee's appeal over trial errors. The court found no excessive damage and noted tax considerations may have affected the award.
