• concluding that the denial of a summary judgment motion did not constitute the law of the case
• concluding that lump sum award was not unreasonable even though it did not specify amount awarded for pain and suffering
• holding that an offer of judgment was not conditional upon joint acceptance and therefore was not invalid on those grounds
• ruling that an oral statement during closing argument by defense counsel in a civil negligence action— in which counsel conceded specific amounts of special damages — was counsel's opinion only and was not an admission
• holding that defense counsel’s estimate that compensable damages were $69,-000-$70,000 and concession that “I think he's been significantly injured. I think he has injury now. I think it may need treatment. We don't know for sure.” were not judicial admissions
• concluding defense attorney's statement during closing argument in a negligence case which conceded the plaintiff's injuries and sought to estimate the amount the jury should award was an expression of an opinion and not a judicial admission
