Carolyn Benson appeals a judgment entered upon a jury’s verdict awarding her the sum of $20,000 for damages in this negligence action. Benson argues that the verdict was inadequate. She also claims that the trial court erroneously (1) refused to change the verdict; (2) instructed the jury; (3) rejected her claim for attorney fees and costs incurred prior to the trial; (4) ruled that the jury

array was proper; and (5) failed to change venue. We reject Benson’s arguments and affirm the judgment.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist III, Ashland County, Harrington, J., Per Curiam

Attorneys:

For Appellant: Phillip M. Steans, Menomonie

For Respondent: H. Craig M. Haukaas, Ashland; Robert C. Barnes, Duluth, MN
