Description
This appeal arises from a diversity action in which a jury found the defendant Otis Elevator Company liable to pay the plaintiff Shirley Carroll damages in the amount of $42,899.51 for personal injuries she sustained while riding on an escalator manufactured by Otis. As its sole basis for appeal Otis asserts that the trial court abused its discretion in qualifying one of plaintiffs witnesses as an expert. Because the witness was qualified to give testimony which assisted the trier of fact, we affirm.
