431 S.E.2d 480 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1993
Tommy Horne slipped and fell while on the premises of Care More, Inc. d/b/a Macon Health Care Center. Tommy and Mary Horne filed a complaint against Care More for injuries allegedly caused by the fall. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Care More. The trial court made the verdict the judgment of the court. The Hornes appeal.
1. The Hornes contend that the court erred in charging the jury on the defense of accident.
2. The Hornes enumerate that the court erred in failing to give their requested charge on distraction. Because the request is not contained in the record, we cannot address the merits of this enumeration. Jones v. Livingston, 203 Ga. App. 99, 102 (3) (416 SE2d 142) (1992).
Judgment affirmed.
The Supreme Court’s holding in Tolbert v. Duckworth, 262 Ga. 622 (423 SE2d 229) (1992), that the jury charge on accident should not be given in civil cases after January 21, 1993, is inapplicable to the instant case, which was tried from January 13-15, 1992.
