Anderson v. Sears, Roebuck & Co. | 377 F.Supp. 136 (1974)
A remittitur is a reduction of a damages award. Anderson versus Sears, Roebuck concerns a request for a remittitur of damages awarded to a badly burned child.
In 1970, Mildred Anderson and Harry Britain’s home burned down. Their infant daughter, Helen, was severely burned. The fire was traced to a defective heater sold by Sears.
Helen sued Sears for negligence. After an eight-day trial, the jury returned a verdict for Helen and awarded her two million dollars in compensatory damages. Sears filed a posttrial motion for a remittitur, arguing that the damages were excessive. It also argued that Helen’s presence in the courtroom and photographs of her injuries were inflammatory to the jury.
