City of Fairbanks v. Nesbett

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• remanding for new trial on issue of damages only where liability issues were properly decided
• denying recovery where attorney suffered permanent damage to ankle following motorcycle accident because attorney failed to provide evidence that injury impaired earning capacity as attorney
• award of damages may not be speculative or conjectural; jury must have reasonable basis upon which to assess damages by a fair degree of certainty
• where issue in personal injury action had been properly determined and was distinct from damage issues and there was no indication that verdict was possibly a compromise verdict, it was appropriate to limit new trial exclusively to the damage issue
• discussing proof required to recover for lost earning capacity
• adopting substantial factor test for proximate cause
