Description
Ford, Bacon & Davis Construction Corp. (Ford, Bacon & Davis), has appealed from that portion of the court of appeals'
decision holding that the plaintiff's, the Wisconsin Natural Gas Company (the Gas Company), cause of action was not barred
by the six (6) year statute of limitation, sec. 893.19(5), Stats., and refusing to modify the comparative negligence rule
of law as set forth in sec. 895.045. The Gas Company cross-appealed from that portion of the court of appeals' decision affirming
the trial court's refusal to allow the jury to consider the claims for (1) "future damages" and (2) damages incurred as a
result of the negligent installation of piping necessitating excavations numbered 12, 32, 40 and 47. The subject of the appeal was the negligent installation of a 14 mile natural gas transmission pipeline in Milwaukee County
by Ford, Bacon & Davis and Tomaro Construction Co. The Gas Company retained the defendant-appellant, Ford, Bacon &
Davis, a pipeline engineering and consulting firm, to design and supervise the installation of the pipeline. The defendant-respondent,
Tomaro Contractors, Inc. 1 (Tomaro) was hired as the contractor for the installation of the pipeline (excavation, etc.).
