Description

LATOURETTE, Justice. This is an appeal by defendant Harry Semler, a dentist, in a malpractice case, from a judgment after verdict assessing damages against him in the sum of $75,000. At the conclusion of the taking of testimony, defendant, by timely motions, moved for a directed verdict, and, after judgment, for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or, in the alternative, for a new trial, on the grounds that as a matter of law the evidence failed to show any negligence on the part of defendant which was the proximate cause of plaintiffs injuries, which motions were denied by the trial court. On the appeal, it is again urged that there is no substantial evidence of negligence or proximate cause warranting the submission of the case to the jury.
