National Freight, Inc. v. Snyder

This appeal arises from a motor vehicle accident. A vehicle driven by John Snyder collided with a tractor-trailer owned by National Freight, Inc. when the tractor-trailer entered a highway in the path of Snyders vehicle. Snyder suffered a fractured left wrist in the accident. Snyder filed suit against National Freight and the driver of the truck. At trial, National Freight admitted its drivers liability for causing the accident. Accordingly, the only questions submitted to the jury were Snyders damages as a result of the accident. The jury awarded Snyder damages in the amount of $250,000. Based upon the jurys verdict, the trial court entered judgment in favor of Snyder in the amount of $279,142.64 plus court costs and postjudgment interest. National Freight raises eight issues on appeal challenging the trial courts judgment. We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
