MONTGOMERY, Judge,
dissenting:
I must respectfully dissent. I strongly disagree with the conclusion of the Majority that the lower court erred in applying the doctrine of comparative negligence in the circumstances of this case. I would adopt the discussion and conclusions on that issue set forth in the lower court Opinion. Further, I would rely upon the decisions from other jurisdictions, cited in that Opinion and noted in the Majority Opinion, which would allow the trier of fact to consider the possible negligence of the Plaintiffs as a factor diminishing damages, by applying the doctrine of comparative negligence in such cases. I would not disturb the verdicts of the lower court in these cases.
