00-2592 Rivera v. Vandeboom, et al.

Listen to this article

Beth T. Vandeboom and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (collectively, “State Farm”) appeal from a circuit court judgment, following a jury trial, awarding Miguel A. Rivera $548,312.23 in damages for injuries he suffered in a collision between the motorcycle he was driving and the automobile Vandeboom was driving. State Farm seeks a new trial, on liability only, alleging that the trial court erred by: (1) denying its requests for certain jury instructions; and (2) overruling its objections to Rivera’s counsel’s comments in closing argument.

Because State Farm has not shown that the alleged errors were prejudicial, we affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
