Zeigler v. Detweiler

OPINION 1 This is an appeal from a trial court order granting a motion for a new trial limited to the issue of general damages. 1 Appellee sought damages for injuries she alleged she sustained in an automobile accident. The jury returned a verdict for Appellee on the issue of negligence and found that Appellants' negligence was a substantial factor in causing Appellee's injuries. In answer to a special interrogatory the jury awarded Appellee her medical expenses, but made no award for pain and suffering. The trial court later granted Appellee's request for a new trial on damages. We affirm.
