Heard by DONIELSON, P.J., and SACKETT and HABHAB, JJ.


DONIELSON, Presiding Judge.

The plaintiff, injured by an intoxicated driver, sued the owner of the dram shop where the intoxicated driver had purchased beer. The jury awarded plaintiff damages of $1,375,000. On appeal, defendant contends the amount of the verdict was excessive in light of the evidence concerning the plaintiff's injuries and recovery. Defendant also claims it is entitled to a new trial because the plaintiff presented improper rebuttal evidence.
