Gruver (1990)Dismissal of an action for a child's wrongful death against a tort-feasor whose negligence occurred when the decedent was in the mother's womb is reversed in a case where the child was born alive but died shortly thereafter because of injuries proximately caused by the defendant.

Hall (1990)In a wrongful death case, because an unbiased jury under proper instructions found that the evidence preponderated in the plaintiff's favor, there was no legal justification for a retrial on the issue of liability.
