Description
Plaintiff Oscar Whitlock obtained a judgment against defendant University of Denver in the amount of $5,256,000, as a result of a jury trial in Denver District Court, for injuries suffered in a trampoline accident that rendered him a quadriplegic. The trial court ordered certain relief from this judgment based upon the University's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Whitlock appealed, and the University cross-appealed. The Colorado Court of Appeals rejected the University's argument that it owed no duty to Whitlock, reversed the trial court's order granting relief from the judgment, and directed that the jury's verdict be reinstated. Whitlock v. University of Denver, 712 P.2d 1072 (Colo. App. 1985). The University then petitioned for certiorari, and we granted that petition.
