CompFox AI Summary
Appellant Glenn E. Gallaher appealed the denial of his motion for new trial, arguing the trial court erred by allowing Appellee Gena Brown to mention an undisclosed witness and prior car accidents during trial, which he claimed violated a motion in limine. The case stemmed from a 2003 car accident between Gallaher and Brown, with Gallaher seeking damages for injuries and financial harm. While an initial claim against State Farm, Brown's insurer, was dismissed, the jury found both Gallaher and Brown negligent, attributing 75% fault to Brown and 25% to Gallaher, awarding Gallaher $150 in past medical expenses. After applying a credit for previous payments, the judgment resulted in Gallaher taking nothing. The Court of Appeals, Second District of Texas, Fort Worth, affirmed the trial court's decision, concluding that Gallaher had not preserved his arguments for review and failed to demonstrate that the alleged errors probably caused an improper verdict.
