Following a jury award in favor of Plaintiff Ronnie Thornton, Defendants Diamond Offshore Management Company and Diamond Offshore Services Company moved for a new trial or remittitur. The district court denied the motion, and the Defendants now appeal. The Defendants contend that they were entitled to relief from *319 the jury award because (1) the award of $2.5 million in general damages was disproportionate and excessive; (2) the award of $563,343 in lost future wages was not supported by the evidence; and (3) the jury’s allocation of fault was not supported by the evidence.

“The decision to grant or deny a motion for new trial or remittitur rests in the sound discretion of the trial judge; that exercise of discretion can be set aside only upon a clear showing of abuse.” Eiland v. Westinghouse Elec. Corp., 58 F.3d 176, 183 (5th Cir. 1995); see Foradori v. Harris, 523 F.3d 477, 504 (5th Cir. 2008). After reviewing the record, we conclude that the Defendants were not entitled to a new trial or remittitur for essentially the reasons stated in the district court’s Order and Reasons. Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion.

AFFIRMED.
