Description
Plaintiff Raymond Kubista appeals from a judgment awarding him $25,000 as compensation for an injury to his lower back which the jury found was proximately caused by the negligence of defendant Paul Romaine. The primary contention advanced by the plaintiff in this appeal is that the sum awarded by the jury was inadequate because of the erroneous ruling of the trial court excluding, as irrelevant, proffered evidence to the effect that prior to this litigation, the plaintiff relied upon an adjuster for the negligent defendant's insurance carrier who encouraged the plaintiff to go to school to learn a new trade, and advised the plaintiff that if he did so the insurance company would "take care of him." We hold that the trial court erred by excluding the proffered evidence because in this case the evidence was relevant to plaintiff's request for damages in the amount of wages he lost while attending school prior to trial.
