Description
ESCHBACH, Senior Circuit Judge In this diversity case, the plaintiff Clifford Blumenfeld (""Blumenfeld"") appeals from a jury trial awarding him $2,000 for his personal injury claim. Blumenfeld argues that the District Court improperly excluded certain psychiatric testimony and should have ordered a new trial because the jury's award of damages was too low. We affirm. Background This case results from a car accident. The defendant Andrew Stuppi (""Stuppi"") rear-ended Blumenfeld, who was stopped at a red light. Stuppi conceded liability, so the only issue for trial was the amount of damages. At trial, the parties agreed that the accident injured soft tissue in Blumenfeld's eye, but that this physical injury soon healed. The parties disagreed, however, on Blumenfeld's claim of an ongoing, psychological vision impairment.
