Description
On July 6, 1977, three year old Amber Gipson tripped over the ""end cap"" of a display fixture while in the Bridgeton, Missouri, Target Store with her mother. She sustained a deep gash to her right cheek with a resultant scar. The jury at trial found Target to be negligent and awarded damages in the amount of $5,000. Target on appeal raises four points of error. It first contends that the trial court erred by allowing the store manager to be cross-examined with regard to a report which was privileged by the fact that it was prepared in anticipation of litigation. It next challenges the verdict-directing instruction as being an improper modification of MAI 22.03. Thirdly, it charges error in the failure of the trial court to grant a new trial because the amount of the verdict indicated that the jury was motivated by ""passion and prejudice."" It finally asserts that it should have been granted a remittitur or, alternatively, a new trial because the amount of the verdict was excessive as a matter of law. We affirm.
