Torts
Negligence; causation
This is an appeal and a cross-appeal in a case involving property loss due to a fire in a warehouse storage building owned by Starla Development, LLC. Starla and West Bend Mutual Insurance Company appeal from a judgment in favor of Great Lakes Dart Mfg. Co., Inc. and Northern Insurance Company of New York, arguing that dismissal was required because there are multiple possible causes of the fire and there is insufficient evidence of negligence and causation. Great Lakes and Northern cross-appeal, challenging the amount of the damages the jury awarded. We affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
