WIEAND, Judge,
concurring and dissenting:
I concur in the decision to affirm the trial court’s order awarding a new trial. I would modify the order, however, to require a new trial generally and would not limit it to damages only. Where liability is contested and not free from doubt, a new trial should not be limited to the issue of damages. See: Rhodes v. Hollender, 260 Pa.Super. 290, 393 A.2d 1268 (1978); Gagliano v. Ditzler, 437 Pa. 230, 263 A.2d 319 (1970); Berkeihiser v. DiBartolomeo, 413 Pa. 158, 196 A.2d 314 (1964).
