Syllabus

App.R. 3 App.R. 16 negligence manifest weight jury verdict Civ.R. 59 motion for a new trial judicial admissions credibility. The jury did not lose its way in returning a verdict in favor of defendant-appellee where the plaintiff-appellant did not sustain his burden of persuasion in establishing that defendant-appellee was negligent, that plaintiff-appellant was injured as a result of such negligence, and that plaintiff-appellant was entitled to damages. The jury verdict was appropriate where plaintiff's entire case rested on his own credibility and he provided inconsistent versions of each relevant accident and his symptoms that allegedly resulted from those accidents. Appellate court is without jurisdiction to consider the trial court's denial of plaintiff-appellant's motion for a new trial where that judgment was not properly appealed from.
