Roach v. Transwaste, Inc.

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of remittitur because the plaintiff’s uncorroborated testimony about his unemployment period, mileage, and per-mile compensation provided a sufficient basis for the jury to reasonably estimate his lost wages. The court held that reasonable certainty requires evidence removing damages from speculation, not mathematical precision or documentary corroboration. The jury’s use of figures drawn from uncontroverted testimony and explained in its interrogatories supported the award.
