KELLEHER, Justice,
concurring.
I agree with the conclusion of my colleagues that the trial justice erred in granting a directed verdict. There was some evidence presented that might warrant a finding for the Davises. However, I would remind the Davises that “courts have universally held that the plaintiff must produce competent evidence from which the jury may reasonably infer that the damages sought were the result of the defendants’ acts.” McKnight v. Hill & Hill Exterminators, Inc., 689 S.W.2d 206, 207 (Tex.1985). See also Neary v. Posner, 253 Md. 401, 407, 252 A.2d 843, 847 (1969).
