These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Tulewicz v. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, 529 Pa. 584 , 606 A.2d 425 (1991), our Supreme Court articulated the standard for setting aside a verdict as excessive: The Court is not warranted in setting aside, reducing, or modifying verdicts for personal injuries unless unfairness, mistake, partiality, prejudice, or corruption is shown, or the damages appear to be grossly exorbitant. The verdict must be clearly and immoderately excessive to justify the granting of a new trial. The amount must not only be greater than that which the court would have awarded, but so excessive as to offend the conscience and judgment of the Court. Id. at 586 , 606 A.2d at 426 , quoting Stark v. Lehigh Foundries, 388 Pa. 1, 23 , 130 A.2d 123, 135 (1957).”
