McClatchy Planting Company v. Harris9/18/2001
$12,000 for the repair of the scars on her face, leaving less than $200 for pain and suffering. Petitioner is due compensation for her discomfort while using crutches to walk, wearing a knee immobilizer, needing multiple doctor's visits, the noticeable scars to her face, as well as the pain she felt as a result of this accident.
Therefore, in considering the court's findings with the evidence presented at trial while applying an abuse of discretion standard, we conclude that the trial judge properly granted the additur in the sum of $75,000, for a total award of $100,000 in damages. Accordingly, this issue is without merit.
. THE JUDGMENT OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF SUNFLOWER COUNTY IS AFFIRMED. STATUTORY DAMAGES AND INTEREST ARE AWARDED. ALL COSTS OF THIS APPEAL ARE ASSESSED TO THE APPELLANTS.
McMILLIN, C.J., KING AND SOUTHWICK, P.JJ., BRIDGES, THOMAS, IRVING, MYERS AND CHANDLER, JJ., CONCUR. BRANTLEY, J., NOT PARTICIPATING.
