Jama v. Pengiuns Restaurant
Plaintiff Susan Jama claimed to be injured as a result of a slipping incident at Penguins Restaurant and Bar (Penguins), where she worked. Her employers had no workers compensation insurance, so Jama sued in the Superior Court, as she was allowed to do. A jury heard less than three days of testimony and quickly returned a special verdict, answering no to the first question on the verdict form, whether Jama was injured on the job. Jama contends that submission of that question was an abuse of discretion. Court disagree, and conclude that submission of the question was not improper in the circumstances here and, even if it were, that Jama did not preserve the issue for appeal or show that any such error was reversible. Court thus affirm.
