Text: When the record is viewed in the light most favorable to Mabeline, it indicates that the V.F.W. officials were asked to help her after the attack, and that they replied they were too tied up to help. We are of the opinion that the V.F.W. officials had an affirmative duty to aid Mabeline once they learned that she had been injured on V.F.W. premises. Compare, Hogan v. Cunningham, 252 Miss. 216, 226, 172 So.2d 408, 413 (1965) (driver involved in collision was negligent in failing to render such aid and assistance as he could to injured party). This duty arose out of the relationship between Mabeline and the V.F.W. Even so, Mabeline has made absolutely no showing that this omission on the part of the V.F.W. resulted in any aggravation of her injuries. Therefore, she has failed to show any damages arising from the breach. The trial court was correct in granting summary judgment in favor of the V.F.W., even as to the V.F.W.'s failure to assist Mabeline. As to each instance of negligence which Mabeline alleged, there was a complete failure of proof as to at least one of the essential elements of negligence. Because the trial court was correct in entering summary judgment in favor of the V.F.W., we affirm. AFFIRMED. ROY NOBLE LEE, C.J., HAWKINS, P.J., and PRATHER, ROBERTSON, SULLIVAN, ANDERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur. DAN M. LEE, P.J., concurs in result only.
