Case Summary

[1] Upon the trial of a personal injury action brought by Gregory Smith ("Smith") against Nolan Clayton ("Clayton"), a jury found Clayton liable for $21,000,000.00, and the trial court subsequently awarded Smith a portion of the prejudgment interest he requested. Clayton moved for post-verdict credit for advance payments purportedly made by insurers on his behalf, but the trial court did not contemporaneously reduce the verdict. Clayton appeals, asking that we set aside the judgment entered upon the jury verdict and remand for a new trial. We affirm.
