OPINION

WALLS, District Judge.

In the latest trial in this case, a jury rendered a verdict of $3,086,500 for plaintiff Mark Waldorf ("Waldorf"), including $2,500,000 for pain and suffering and $586,500 for past and future lost earnings. Waldorf argues that these amounts were shockingly low and against the weight of the evidence. Hence, he moves for a new trial. In the alternative, Waldorf moves for additur.
