4966 Because plaintiff had a “personal reason” to restore his property, he was entitled to recover enough damages to restore the property to its former condition even though the damages were in excess of the diminution of fair market value caused by the fire. Furthermore, plaintiff was entitled to recover double damages for wrongful injuries to the trees upon his land. Additionally, plaintiff was able to recover attorney’s fees because his property was used for the raising of livestock. However, plaintiff had no right to recover damages for annoyance and disturbance because he was not an “occupant of land” at the time of the fire. Any objection defendant had to the special verdict form was waived when he did not object to it in the trial court.CitationKELLY v CB&I CONSTRUCTORS, INC. (Restoring My Property) 179 CA4 442 [See:CivC 3346; Health and Safety Code 13007; Gould v. Madonna 5 CA3 404 (1970)]
