Is a partial directed verdict in a personal injury action valid?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Freeman v. City of Modesto, 993 F.2d 882 (9th Cir. 1993):

Finally, even assuming that the district court erred in granting the partial directed verdict, the error is harmless. Where the error is not of constitutional magnitude, the verdict will stand if the prejudice resulting from the error is more probably than not harmless. See United States v. Lui, 941 F.2d 844, 848 (9th Cir.1991).
