Description
Juanita Burnett, as administratrix of the estate of her husband, Robert C. Burnett, brought suit in Marion County Circuit Court against the State of Indiana for the wrongful death of her husband. The suit arose out of an automobile collision at the intersection of State Road 26 and Creasey Lane in Tippecanoe County which resulted in Roberts death. Juanita claimed that the State negligently failed to warn the motoring public of a change in the traffic control light at the intersection. The case was tried in Hancock County Circuit Court. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Juanita, awarding her $6000 in damages, and the trial Judge entered judgment on the verdict. Juanita filed a motion to correct errors asserting that the damages awarded her were inadequate. The motion was denied and Juanita appealed to the Court of Appeals. Finding that the damages awarded were inadequate if the State was indeed liable, but unable to determine if the jury considered some improper element or compromised in reaching its verdict, the Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court and ordered a new trial on all issues. The State petitions this Court for transfer. We grant transfer.
