Ronald Whitford v. Village Groomer & Animal Inn, Inc.

Syllabus

A property owner filed suit against the owners of a neighboring property, alleging that the neighbors had created a nuisance and trespassed by diverting surface water onto his property and causing a sinkhole to develop. After a trial on the matter, a jury returned a verdict finding that the neighbor had not created a nuisance and had not trespassed. The trial court judge confirmed the jury's verdict and dismissed all claims against the neighbor with prejudice. Because the record contains material evidence supporting the jury's verdict, we affirm.
