Defendant's motion for new trial was denied and this appeal followed. The case was tried before a jury which returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff and against defendant in the amount of $1,800,000.
Plaintiff alleged that his injuries resulted from the negligence of Alligood and the complaint provided several alternative theories for his claim. Defendant Little Ocmulgee Electric Membership Corporation had received prior notice of the house move and had dispatched an experienced lineman, Alligood, to accompany and *283 render assistance to the house movers. On August 1, 1990, plaintiff Lockhart was employed as a house mover and was involved in the moving of a house along a public road when he came into contact or close proximity with an electric power line and was injured.
