Robert and Joanne Derks appeal a judgment which directed a verdict against them on their claims for trespass, negligent destruction of property, and a violation of their rights as landowners abutting a public highway under Wis. Stat. sec. 80.47 (1997-98). The trial court concluded that the Derks had failed to present sufficient evidence on damages.
For the reasons discussed below, we disagree and therefore reverse and remand for a new trial.
This opinion will not be published.
Dist IV, Juneau County, Brady, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys:
For Appellant: William R. Steinmetz, Milwaukee; Catherine E. Levinson, Milwaukee
