Gilliam v. Immel

OPINION BY JUSTICE ELIZABETH A. McCLANAHAN

In this personal injury action filed by Nancy Mae Gilliam against Jacob Thomas Immel, the jury awarded a verdict in favor of Gilliam but awarded her no damages. On appeal, Gilliam contends that the trial court erred in denying her motions to set aside the verdict and for a new trial.
