Appeal from a Superior Court judgment in a personal injury action arising from a motor vehicle accident.
The defendant-appellants admitted liability, and the sole issue was damages.
A jury awarded substantial damages for future loss of income, cost of medical care, and $225,000 in general damages for pain and suffering.
The appellants challenged the award on three grounds: restriction of expert testimony, failure to declare a mistrial due to inappropriate closing submissions, and insufficient guidance on the range for non-pecuniary damages.
The Court of Appeal dismissed all grounds of appeal and upheld the jury's award.
