Description
In this action seeking damages for legal malpractice, the jury assessed plaintiff's damages at $500,000 and assessed fault
at 60 percent against defendant and 40 percent against plaintiff. Both plaintiff and defendant filed motions for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV). The trial court denied plaintiff's motion but granted that of defendant. Plaintiff appeals.
We reverse. Although much of the testimony in the case was in sharp contradiction, our consideration of the evidence is clear. Because
a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict presents the issue of whether the plaintiff made a submissible case, we
review the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff's case and accord her all reasonable beneficial inferences
which can be drawn from the evidence. Jamrozik v. M.T. Realty & Investment Corp., 843 S.W.2d 394, 395 (Mo.App. 1992).
We disregard defendant's evidence except to the extent it supports the verdict. Hinton v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Ins.
Co., 741 S.W.2d 696, 700 (Mo.App. 1987). We state the facts in accord with these principles.
