Casteel v. Gaither

Smith, Judge.

Appellant sued Victor L. Gaither for damages arising from an automobile collision, alleging that he was injured when his vehicle was struck from the rear by a vehicle operated by appellee. Although appellant claimed general and punitive damage in the amount of $150,000, the jury awarded only $250.00 for damages to appellant’s 1964 Chevrolet pickup. Appellant asserts that the trial court erred in denying his motion for new trial wherein it is alleged that the verdict is grossly inadequate and clearly reveals confusion, bias, and gross mistake on the part of the jury. We affirm.
