Wallis v. Keller

hOn February 20, 2013, motorist Katherine Keller rear-ended the vehicle driven by Mary Wallis in stop-and-go traffic on I-49 (formerly 1-540). Keller eventually admitted fault. Wallis filed a claim against Keller seeking damages for pain and suffering and mental -anguish. The jury found in favor of Wallis, but returned a verdict of zero damages. Wallis filed a motion for a new trial based on Arkansas Rule of Civil- Procedure 59(a)(5) and (6), which was deemed denied. Wallis appeals, asserting that zero damages was not a verdict the jury could deliver. We affirm.
