Supreme Court of Delaware
Parker v. Parker
April 30, 2010994 A.2d 745
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of George Parker's motion for a new trial or additur after a jury awarded him $3,250 for a shoulder injury sustained in an automobile accident. The court held that the award was within the reasonable range supported by the evidence and was not so disproportionate to Parker's injuries as to shock the court's conscience. The court also rejected Parker's argument that prior additur awards established a minimum recovery for comparable injuries.
