Syllabus

The plaintiff, Bruce Zarembka, appealed the denial of his motion for a new trial in favor of the defendants, Kali Whelan and John Whelan. This case arose from an automobile accident between Zarembka and Kali. Zarembka brought suit and alleged that Kali negligently operated her vehicle. After the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the defendants, Zarembka moved for a new trial. A Superior Court justice denied his motion, and Zarembka appealed. On appeal, Zarembka argued that the trial justice overlooked and misconceived material evidence when deciding the motion for a new trial. The Supreme Court held that the trial justice properly conducted the analysis for the motion for a new trial and did not overlook or misconceive material evidence. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decision to deny the plaintiff's motion for a new trial.
