Pain and Suffering • Uncontroverted Evidence • Automobile Accident
Hernandez-Lerch v. Gray, PICS Case No. 16-0649 (Pa. Super. May 17, 2016) (memorandum) Lazarus, J. (12 pages).
Trial court erred in denying appellant’s motion for a new trial on the issue of damages after jury awarded automobile accident victim damages for medical bills and lost wages but nothing for pain and suffering because the uncontested evidence of her injuries showed that she suffered compensable pain that amounted to more than a mere transient rub of life. Reversed and remanded.
