Billups v. LA County Met. Transit Auth.
In this action for personal injuries arising from a fall on a bus, plaintiff and appellant Melvin Billups appeals from a judgment following a jury trial in favor of defendant and respondent Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). Billups contends the trial court prejudicially erred in admitting the opinion of the MTAs neurologist, Dr. Edwin Amos, regarding what might have caused Billups to fall. Billups further contends the opinion was irrelevant and lacked foundation. The MTA argues the judgment must be affirmed because Billups failed to show prejudicial error by an adequate record, in that the record does not contain the jury instructions. Court conclude the testimony was properly admitted and further conclude that the record is inadequate to demonstrate prejudicial error.
