WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Steven P. Dresel v. William J. Giles, et al
Case No.: 2016AP469
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Jury Instruction
Steven Dresel appeals a judgment, entered upon a jury verdict, awarding $16,000 in damages to Dresel as a result of an automobile accident caused by William Giles. Dresel argues the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by admitting collateral source evidence consisting of testimony regarding a social security disability benefits application, and by denying his request for the court to give the standard causation jury instruction. We reject these arguments and affirm.
