Khalid Almuawi v. Antwan Gregory

Syllabus

The plaintiff and defendant were in a car accident when the defendant's car rear-ended the plaintiff's car. The defendant admitted liability, leaving only the issue of damages for trial. The jury awarded the plaintiff some damages, but the plaintiff argued he was entitled to a larger sum than the jury awarded. The plaintiff also argued that the defendant's attorney misrepresented the evidence in his closing argument and that he was entitled to a new trial. We conclude that the jury's verdict was supported by material evidence and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the plaintiff's motion for a new trial.
