Waskowski v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
Waskowski v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance, 570 F. App'x 485 (6th Cir. 2014)

Waskowski v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance

Opinion

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff Jaroslaw Waskowski was involved in a car accident, and sued State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in Michigan state court after State Farm terminated his benefits. State Farm removed the action to federal court where, after a five-day trial, the jury returned a verdict that Waskowski was in fact injured in the car accident, but that State Farm owed no additional benefits beyond the amount it had already paid. Waskowski appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to amend the judgment to add damages or, in the alternative, his motion for a new trial on damages.

The panel has had the opportunity to consider the arguments advanced by the parties and to conduct our own independent review of the record on appeal. In this case, the district court issued an Opinion and Order which explains in detail the analysis behind the court’s denial of plaintiffs motions. Waskowski v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., No. 11-CV-13036, 2013 WL 1774696 (E.D.Mich. Apr.25, 2013) (Page ID 1636). We agree with the reasoning of the district court and affirm on that basis.

The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
