Most-quoted passages

Had the jury found the accident caused some injury to [appellant], but declined to award damages because the jury concluded the injury was so minor as to be noncompensable, we would not have disturbed their verdict. However, the jury’s verdict that [appellant] was not “injured” in the accident goes against the weight of the competent evidenced adduced by both parties’ medical experts at trial.”
