Deborah R. Smith and Alan Smith vs. Taco Bell Corporation

The trial court awarded Deborah Smith ("Plaintiff") $250,000 for injuries received as a result of her fall at Taco Bell. Plaintiff's husband was awarded $10,000 for his loss of consortium claim. On appeal, Taco Bell Corporation ("Defendant") contends the trial court committed reversible error by failing to rule at trial on Defendant's objections made during the depositions of the two primary treating physicians. Defendant also claims the medical proof was insufficient to establish a causal connection between Plaintiff's fall at Taco Bell and her medical condition. We affirm.
