Indiana Court of Appeals
Sydney Renner v. Trevor J. Shepard-Bazant
19A-CT-02745
Civil tort. Reverses the Lake Superior Court’s denial of Sydney Renner’s motion to correct error, in which she asked for an increased damages award stemming from a car crash involving Trevor Shepard-Bazant. Finds the trial court’s treatment of Renner’s prior two concussions as separate incidents, rather than as contributing to Renner’s injuries and damages arising from the auto accident, was against the logic and effect of the facts and circumstances before the court and resulted in error in the calculation of damages. Remands for a retrial.
