Pineda v. County of Douglas6/21/2005
ther than the $511.74 stipulated by the parties at trial.
The court went on to state that it had considered the criteria set out in Sidel v. Travelers Ins. Co., 205 Neb. 541, 288 N.W.2d 482 (1980), in addition to the evidence at trial. The court determined that Pineda had experienced a 20-percent loss of earning power as a result of her February 4, 2000, accident at Pinnacle. Given the record before us, we cannot conclude that the trial court was clearly wrong in making this finding of fact. Therefore, the assignment of error is without merit.
CONCLUSION
After reviewing the record, we conclude that the trial court did not err in finding that Conway's opinion as to Pineda's loss of earning capacity was not entitled to a presumption of correctness or in finding that Pineda suffered a 20-percent loss of earning capacity as a result of her February 4, 2000, accident with Pinnacle. Therefore, the review panel's order affirming the trial court's award to Pineda is affirmed.
Affirmed.
