Description
Defendant has appealed from a judgment which became final after plaintiff, in conformance with the trial court's order on defendant's motion for new trial, accepted a reduction to $280,000 from a jury verdict which awarded her $362,389.75 damages for injuries suffered as a result of an automobile collision. Defendant contends: (1) that the trial court erred in three particulars in the rulings on the admission of evidence; (2) that error was committed in instructing the jury; (3) that there was rampant misconduct of plaintiff's counsel which deprived the defendant of a fair trial; and (4) that the amount of the judgment, as reduced, is excessive. Although counsel's conduct cannot be condoned, there is no merit to defendant's other claims of error; and, on our review of the entire record, it does not appear as a matter of law that any prejudice that might have been occasioned by that conduct was not cured by the action taken by the trial court in reducing the verdict. The judgment must be affirmed.
