Description

In the fall of 1976, Vera Grimes was involved in three separate car accidents. A year later, she filed suit against the various drivers and an insurer, seeking compensation for injuries allegedly suffered as a result of the accidents. This appeal arises from the trial of Grimes claims against one of those drivers, Sharon Haslett. The car that Haslett was driving had struck the rear of Grimes car in Anchorage on October 9, 1976. Grimes claimed that Haslett was negligent, but the jury returned a general verdict in favor of Haslett. On appeal, Grimes asserts that the superior court erred concerning a peremptory challenge of an alternate juror, a jury instruction on damages for lost earning capacity, and the denial of her motions for directed verdict, for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial. Haslett has cross-appealed, contending that the superior court erred in denying her motion for a directed verdict, in excluding evidence that Grimes failed to comply with a discovery request, and in admitting the evidence that Grimes failed to disclose during discovery.
