Description

A diversity action in the district court has resulted in three appeals which were consolidated and heard together in this court.*fn1 Jack Manning, an employee of the Knoxville Utility Board, was seriously injured while at work on July 1, 1970. At the time the injury occurred Manning was working in a bucket elevated above the ground by a crane or boom to which the bucket is attached, this equipment being commonly referred to as a "cherry picker." He and another lineman had been lifted in the bucket to a position near a group of electric wires from which they intended to remove a dead line. Manning's shoulder came into contact with an energized line and the resulting injury required that both hands and a portion of both arms be amputated. Clara Ann Manning joined in the complaint seeking damages for loss of consortium and services. The jury returned a verdict of $450,000 in favor of Jack Manning and $75,000 in favor of Clara Ann Manning. The district court, on its own motion, remitted $100,000 of the Jack Manning verdict and $45,000 of the Clara Ann Manning verdict and entered judgment for $350,000 and $30,000 respectively. The plaintiffs accepted these remittiturs under protest and have appealed in No. 73-1221.
