Description
Plaintiffs sued defendant on a negligence theory to recover damages for personal injury to Russell Kracman. He was injured when a high voltage power line owned by defendant touched the back of his neck while he was working on a billboard. Defendant filed a third-party petition against Douglas Johnston, seeking in one count contractual indemnity and in another non-contractual indemnity or contribution. Defendant's claim against Johnston was severed and the issues between plaintiffs and defendant were tried with a jury. By its verdict the jury found Russell Kracman's damages to be eight million dollars and Tawna's Three Hundred Thousand and assessed 90% of the fault to defendant and 10% to Russell Kracman. Following trial the parties disagreed on the computation of prejudgment interest. See § 408.040.2, RSMo Supp. 1990. On April 16, 1991, the trial court entered ""judgment"" against defendant for $9,059,568.30, and found ""there is no just reason for delaying entry of final judgment on Plaintiffs' claims against defendant Ozark Electric Cooperative, Inc."" See Rule 74.01(b).
