Description
Plaintiff, Linda Carlasare, brought suit for injuries sustained when a vehicle driven by defendant, Gary Wilhelmi, collided with a vehicle operated by a second defendant, Bhaskar Patel. A jury found both defendants liable. Plaintiff was awarded $65,000 in damages. Plaintiff appeals from the judgment entered on the jury verdict and from an order denying her post-trial motion seeking a new trial on damages. Plaintiff contends on appeal that: (1) defense counsels comments during closing argument that plaintiff was really seeking one-fifth of the damages asked for and that plaintiffs lawyers always seek five times more than they are entitled to were prejudicial; (2) defendant Patels counsels comments in closing argument that plaintiff had not presented evidence of disability because there was nothing she could do before the accident that she could not do after the accident were prejudicial; and (3) the jurys award of $65,000 was against the manifest weight of the evidence because it does not reflect an award for plaintiffs disability. We affirm.
