Clara Galard v. Dean Johnson
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Decided October 25, 1974No. 73-1815PublishedCited by 35 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
PELL, Circuit Judge.
This is a personal injury case in which negligence was admitted by the defendant, Dean Johnson, and the only issue presented to the jury was the amount of damages, if any, to which the plaintiff, Clara Galard, was entitled for any injuries she sustained as a result of an automobile accident. The jury returned a verdict in the amount of $45,000 for the plaintiff. The principal issue on appeal is whether the district court erred in denying Johnson’s motion for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was excessive, being against the manifest weight of the evidence.
