““ ‘ “A new trial on the question of damages only is appropriately granted ‘where (1) the jury’s verdict on the question of liability is amply supported by the evidence; (2) the questions of damages and liability are so separate and distinct that a trial limited to the question of damages is not unfair to the defendant; and (3) the record suggests neither that the jury reached a compromise verdict, nor that, in some other identifiable manner, the error which resulted in the jury’s awarding inadequate damages also affected its verdict on the question of liability.’ ” ’ (Barr v. Groll (1991), 208 Ill. App. 3d 318, 323 , 567 N.E.2d 13 , quoting Hollis v. R. Latoria Construction, Inc. (1985), 108 Ill. 2d 401, 408 , 485 N.E.2d 4, 7 , quoting Balestri v.
