Highlands Insurance Co. v. Baugh

RALEIGH BROWN, Justice.

This is a Workers’ Compensation case. Judy Kay Baugh sued Highlands Insurance Company alleging that she was injured while employed as a derrick hand in Sutton County. The jury found that she was injured in the course and scope of her employment and as a result was partially and permanently incapacitated. Judgment in the amount of $22,736.06 plus $529.25 medical expenses was rendered for Baugh. Thereafter, the court granted a “remitti-tur” of $7,736.06. Highlands appeals the modified judgment, and Baugh appeals the granting of the remittitur. We reform and affirm.
