U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 16-2021
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Personal Injury. The evidence was sufficient to show that
plaintiff's legal domicile was the state of Florida, thereby establishing
diversity of citizenship; the district court did not err in denying
defendant's motion for remittitur of the $4.5 million damages award, as
the injuries plaintiff sustained significantly affected his future
earnings, and with both economic and non-economic damages included in the
general award, the total is not "monstrous, shocking or grossly
excessive."
